If you have any questions about the wildlife of St. Petersburg, you can contact the Florida Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Florida Fish & Wildlife Agency. Florida game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and St. Petersburg wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in St. Petersburg like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as All Pro Wildlife, LLC at (813) 404-7033.

Florida is a warm, southern state with everything from orange trees to a large, central swamp known as The Everglades. As you might imagine, this makes for a variety of interesting creatures both land-loving and aquatic. In fact, Florida is so appealing to animals, species not native to the state have been able to move in and thrive. The perfect examples of this are the Burmese Python and the red-tail boa constrictors. These snakes are not native to North America, but so many were released of escape into the Florida wild that a breeding population was spotted in The Everglades. This is not necessarily a good thing, as many native creatures-raccoons and small mammals in particular-have begun to vanish from that region of the state. Not even a smaller alligator can always withstand an attack from the Burmese Python.

Alligators are used to being at the top of the food chain, and because of this the large reptiles are often nuisances around homes, where people fear attacks on themselves and pets. Particularly dangerous are alligators over 8 feet, during the mating season in May. Florida's suburbs are often surrounded by water, and alligators make good use of the man-made channels and canals around the region. Another problematic reptile is the iguana, which is significantly smaller than the alligator but large enough in its own right.

The warm climate in this state means reptiles and amphibians are plentiful. Florida has four venomous species of snakes, all of which can sneak into a yard at any moment. However, they are relatively rare. They include the Eastern Diamondback, the Pigmy Rattler, the Eastern Coral Snake, and the Cottonmouth, or Water Moccasin. Cottonmouth snakes are drawn to water-something most homes have in Florida. Thankfully, most snakes will move out of a lawn after a day or so. Some of these snakes like to live in the water, adding to the list of semi-aquatic animals that can become problematic. Other water-loving pests include beavers, otters, and muskrats. Nutria, another semi-aquatic rodent, are another example of a non-native species moving in and making itself at home.

One animal people don't think much about when they think of Florida is the armadillo. This little creature is not just a problem for the south central states. Florida has armadillos, too, probably more per area than any other state, because they thrive in FL's sandy soil, and they will cause just as much damage in Florida as any other state. They keep several burrows, and dig up lawns as they search for worms and grubs.

Due to the variety of landscapes in this state, Florida also has some large land predators. The Florida panther, an endangered species, is not usually a nuisance animal. It is rarely spotted. What the panther lacks in pest-ability, the black bear makes up for. The surge of tourists into the state has made black bears bold about raiding garbage cans and invading campgrounds. However, black bear attacks on people are rare.

St. Petersburg Wildlife Tip
Different Methods Of Rodent Extermination In my crawl space - If a rodent has invaded your living space and has set up a comfortable nesting area in your my crawl space home, there are several effective methods of extermination. While you can identify the problem yourself and take the necessary steps to remove rodents from your home, it is a good idea to hire the services of professionals who will be able to determine what type of rodent removal method is right.

If you do not take steps to immediately eradicate the source of the problem, it is very possible that your home will attract more rodents. Rodents are able to easily adapt to human-modified surroundings, and if they see that there are no obstacles to access your home, they will multiply. A rodent trap is one of the most effective methods of removing unwanted rodents from your home. Animal control services will sometimes set up traps in the areas that rodents use as a point of entry and exit.

This trap will not harm the rodent and they will be safely relocated to another area. However, a trap isn't a long-term solution. Rodents are smart animals and will simply find another hole to chew through. To prevent future access, you have to make structural repairs to your home, where rodents won't be able to chew through material.

St. Petersburg, FL Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - How's winter in Florida sound? Seized gators to head south

"When we took them out of the tank they were covered in slime," she said. "So I always wanted them to go somewhere and not just be put down because their lives had been so horrible. I just didn't know where." Florida has an abundance of wildlife, and St. Petersburg is no exception.

"Where" ended up being Holiday Everglades Park in St. Petersburg, Fla., which The Wildlife Trapper says has a good reputation as a destination for pet alligators seized in similar circumstances. Florida has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify St. Petersburg snake species and mammals.

Alligators are found primarily in the southeastern United States, from Florida as far north as North Carolina and as far west as Arkansas and Texas, according to the Everglades National Park Web site. The habitat is usually freshwater swamps and marshes, but also rivers and lakes. They vary from crocodiles in their broader snout and darker coloration. South Florida is the only area in the U.S. that has both crocs and gators.
