Regardless of species, wild animals all have individual personalities and there is no "one size fits all" control plan. Each job is unique and should be handled as such. It can be difficult, dangerous and even illegal for a homeowner to handle themselves or let an unqualified person attempt to. You really need someone who understands the animals to be able to properly solve your wildlife problem. We will assess your particular problems and implement a program to meet your wildlife control needs while taking all applicable regulations into account. We practice integrated pest management and not every job will require trapping. In some cases we can simply help you modify the habitat around your property to discourage unwanted animals from staying there. We even handle one-time removals such as Snake Removal.
Centurian Wildlife Control is licensed by the Sarasota Wildlife Resources Agency and the Florida Department of Agriculture. We are also Bonded and Insured so you can rest assured that Sarasota Wildlife Control, FL can handle all of your Animal Control needs. We get the job done!
Sarasota Wildlife Management Pro's provides animal trapping services throughout the Sarasota, Sarasota And Sarasota area. We also use live cage traps whenever possible to capture the targeted animals. We use several makes and models of traps to solve specific problems for our clients. Some of these traps may look a little strange and aren't what you might find available at the local hardware store but they are all considered to be humane despite their looks. Cage traps are our "go to" in most cases but some species are not able to be captured in this type of trap and we may use a variety of other control methods to solve your wildlife problem. The baits we use to trap animals may vary from junk food to species specific pastes depending on location and what we are capturing.
How we safely trap your nuisance animal in Sarasota, Sarasota And Sarasota area.
Safety is our number one concern when determining the location and style of trap to use on a job. We ask that you please be sure to let us know if you have any particular concerns about an area to be trapped. We do our best to ask the questions that guide the safe placement of traps but care should still be taken to keep children and pets away from them. We realize that the opportunity to view a trapped raccoon or Raccoon Poop up close is very tempting (no one seems to want to check out the skunks!) but even a caged animal can pose a threat. If the situation allows, we will give you the opportunity to take a few pictures and get a closer look when we pick the animal up.
The one way valves shown below are often used to remove bats from attic areas. These valves are placed as we seal up areas of the home that bats are using. They normally are left in place for a week or more depending on the severity of the problem. After that, all remaining entry points are sealed once we're sure that the bats have safely made their way out. Bat Removal is regulated by the season. If you feel that you may be having an issue be sure to call us immediately!
The owner of this home had dealt with birds nesting in the fascia for many years. After being unhappy with work done by someone else, they called us. The birds had already broken through previous repairs and started nesting, meaning that they needed Bird Removal. We cleaned up the mess and made the repairs the way they should have been done to start with. Now you can't tell that there was ever an issue! We pride ourselves in leaving your home looking as good or better than before we got there.
The screening being added to this low porch will prevent animals from ever nesting under it again. Many animals seek this type of shelter for protection from the elements and the safety from predators that it provides. We commonly see groundhogs, skunks, raccoon, opossum, feral cats and rats using these areas. Armadillos also exhibit this behavior and that is why we offer Armadillo Removal as well. This particular porch had become the popular place to be for over a dozen feral cats that a neighbor was feeding. We disinfected and deodorized the area under the porch and sealed it up. Now this client can enjoy their sun room again without the noises and odors associated with having animals living underfoot.

There are two main reasons people seek Skunk Removal, the damage done to lawns and the smell. Skunks grub at night which leaves small cone shaped holes in your yard. The more food they find the more your yard will look like a mine field! We have seen freshly sodded yards destroyed overnight by grubbing skunks and raccoon. Controlling the population around your home is the most effective way to limit the damage to your yard.
If you have seen or are smelling a skunk on a regular basis, we suggest you give us a call! Sarasota Wildlife Control can help prevent a skunk and her family from taking up residence under your home or shed. We can also humanely handle your existing skunk problem and give suggestions on habit modifications to deter more skunks from trying to move back in!
During winter months and breeding season, male and females may share nests. These nests are usually in trees, but may be in the attic or exterior walls of homes. It is extremely dangerous for squirrels to nest in attics or walls due to their aggressive gnawing on electrical wiring and cables and Squirrel Poop,, which is why you should get Squirrel Removal taken care of. Their constant need to chew can cause extensive damage to any structure they inhabit.
Identification by color only can be misleading since individual color variations can occur and resemble another species. Rodent control in Sarasota FL area often involves the attic rat or roof rat which is a common rodent species to invade dwellings particularly into the attic areas and garages.
Rats are capable of breeding year round especially in warm climate like the Sarasota County area producing up to five litters per year. The rodent gestation period is only 21-23 days and each litter can number usually 7 but up to 14 offspring can occur.
1. Sealing holes and gaps around the perimeter of your home will help reduce rodent entry opportunities. 2. Pet food should not be left outdoors especially at night which can attract rats and mice to your home or business. 3. Bird feeders are fun to have but can feed many rats and encourage them to nest nearby - possibly inside your home or garage or attic. 4. Professional service can help intercept and eliminate rat activity early on. Rats live near people and take advantage of all available resources to survive and even thrive. It is estimated in some cities that the rats out number the people.
How can Sarasota Animal Control help?
Sarasota Wildlife Control will find the source of the offending odor and remove it. After the animal is removed we will use a variety of products to clean up the mess left behind and disinfect the area to help with the odor and kill bacteria that may be present. Because we are also a licensed Pest Control company (most wildlife services are not) we will also be able to treat the area for any fleas, ticks, mites, maggots, beetles or other insects that may be present due to the carcass. Beyond all of that, if an animal made it's way into your home we will inspect to find out how and give you a quote on animal proofing or, if you would prefer, tell you how to do it yourself.
These removal calls may be as simple as picking up a dead animal from your yard and spraying a disinfectant or as complicated as disassembling duct work, moving large amounts of materials or cutting holes in walls to get to the source of the problem. Given the varying amount of time, size of animal removed (deer will cost more), specialty tools and expertise involved we are unable to quote this without speaking to you to learn the specifics of your problem.
