The gator entered one of my traps. |

If you need wildlife removal, click for the National Directory of
Wildlife Removal Companies that I've carefully compiled in every USA city.
In my job as a wildlife control operator, I usually deal with the same 8 types of animals: raccoons, squirrels, rats, opossums, armadillos, snakes, bats, and birds. However, from time to time I get a chance to handle an
uncommon species. I really relish these jobs. The above photos are all of animals that I don't usually handle. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Alligators page.
Another gator, another story - One fine day as I was enjoying some nice quality time, I got a call from this extremely nervous and freaked out lady on the other side. Apparently, she had spotted a gator in her front yard and was scared to bits that it will attack her and her family members. In my experience, one thing that I have always seen is how amazing my customers are especially when it comes to stretching the reality. I was pretty sure by her description that the ‘wild and savage’ monster she is describing on phone would turn out to be a small alligator. And I was absolutely right (like always!).
It is not uncommon for Florida residents living near lakes or ponds to discover small alligators taking a walk in their front gardens and so, the call did not come as a surprise to me at all. When I reached there, I found that this house was close to a pond. No prize for guessing where the gator must have come from. The job now was to trap it and make sure that it is safely moved to either its own habitat or the wildlife conservation. Typically, I don’t take up gator jobs since I am not licensed for it. But in this case, the lady called me with such urgency that I couldn’t turn her down.
Anyways, I laid down a trap for the alligator and waited for it to step in. I had to wait for a while since gators are not exactly known to be the fastest animals on Earth. When I finally got it trapped and safely tucked inside the cage, it was now time to get it out of the property. One option for me was to call the wildlife conservation but they would have taken ages to come. Since the pond was close, I carried the cage there and released the alligator into the water. Work done, case closed.
