St. Cloud Animal Removal & Control
Florida’s natural wildlife can quickly turn from a simple nuisance to a dangerous and expensive infestation for homeowners and business owners. Many of these wild animals will make their homes in areas that are really difficult or nearly impossible for the average homeowner to access. And without the right tools, training, and techniques, you shouldn’t attempt removal on your own. The good news is that you don’t have to.
In over two decades, there hasn’t been an animal control problem that AWR hasn’t been able to solve. We’re properly equipped with the right tools, experience, and techniques to safely and humanely remove any wildlife animals causing a problem on your property.
If you find yourself facing an animal control problem, it’s important that you seek professional help as soon as possible. Many of Florida’s wildlife can be very dangerous if provoked, some carry dangerous diseases, and some might even be venomous – putting you and your family’s safety at risk. Our specialized training and years of experience allow us to focus on removing animals from your home properly, safely, and humanely – making sure you and your family stay safe. Once these animals are out, we keep them out with our habitat modification, home damage repairs, and animal exclusion and prevention techniques, preventing these animals from returning to your home. Without these techniques, animals can quickly make their way back into your home, causing further damage and wreaking havoc.

St. Cloud Raccoon Removal & Control
Nocturnal in nature, raccoons are notorious for their habit of overturning garbage cans in search of food, but many people don’t realize that these curious critters are just as often found inside of homes or businesses, creating a refuge within garages, basements, and attics – providing perfect shelter and an easy source of food and water. Their heightened senses and incredible dexterity allows them to easily break in where they often wreak havoc due to their larger size.
Unfortunately, raccoons can become very aggressive, they can also carry diseases and parasites, and often cause significant damage to your property. Commonly associated with rabies, a raccoon’s droppings are actually a more realistic threat to humans, particularly to children. Raccoon droppings can contain raccoon roundworm, or Baylisascaris Procyonis and Baylisascaris Columnaris, parasitic worms that are extremely dangerous when inhaled. The roundworm egg spores can live for years as dry pods within raccoon feces which can be inhaled at any time by humans and can impact the central nervous system. They can also carry giardia lamblia, Rickettsia rickettsii, Trypanosoma cruzi, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and canine distemper, an often fatal disease for dogs.
You can also discourage raccoon activity further by keeping trash cans locked or inside your garage, make sure pet bowls are brought indoors, and be sure to keep branches trimmed away from the side of your home to prevent easy entry.
Common raccoon issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- They have razor sharp teeth and claws
- They can potentially carry rabies
- Host to mites, lice, ticks, fleas, and other dangerous parasites
- They tear and claw at any obstacle in their way in order to create a nest
- Raccoons leave feces and body oil that leaves a terribly pungent odor, attracting other raccoons
- Damage to attic access points like roof soffits, vents, or dormers
- Foul odors coming from your attic
- Stains on your walls or ceiling from raccoon feces/droppings
- Thumping, scratching, or purring noises coming from your attic – especially during nighttime hours
- Upset family pets or alert behavior (pest can often detect the presence of other animals well before humans can)
The key to preventing damage to your home or business is to get the raccoons out quickly and safely – if you see a raccoon on your property, you should act quickly as they often scout out an area before they try to enter.
We always advise calling a professional animal removal service to trap and remove raccoons from your property rather than attempting to do it yourself. At AWR of St. Cloud, we have the experience and equipment to safely and effectively remove raccoons from your property, repair any damage they’ve caused, and prevent future raccoon problems through exclusions, all while keeping you, your family, and customers out of harm’s way.
With over 20 years of experience, ASAP Wildlife Removal of St. Cloud is your best choice for raccoon removal in the Greater St. Cloud Area. We’ll get the job done right the first time.

St. Cloud Rat Removal & Control
Unfortunately, rat (roof rats, citrus rats or black rats) infestations have become an all too common occurrence in St. Cloud homes and businesses as they seek shelter, food, and a safe harbor to nest and raise their young. These nimble climbers are able to crawl through or chew through the tiniest of openings in a wall or roof and set up shop within garages, storage units, crawl spaces, attics, and wall cavities. Rats also have a hypersensitive sense of smell, so if another rat has ever made a home on your property, a new one can easily sniff the scent out and seek a potential mate – even a small rat infestation can quickly grow out of control resulting in serious health risks and expensive damage to your property.
Although rats are small in size, they can quickly wreak havoc in your home or business and they shouldn’t be underestimated. Rats can carry a range of diseases that include hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, rat bite fever, and leptospirosis – all harmful to you, your family, pets, and customers. In addition to scattering fecal droppings and urine everywhere, a major health hazard, rats can easily destroy building material, insulation, electrical wires, air ducts, and even plumbing.
Common rat issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- Shredded insulation
- Fecal droppings
- Chewed electrical wires
- Scratching noises coming from within the walls or attic
- Gnawing through wires and pipes
- Damaged ceilings, walls, and insulation via rat feces and urine
- Using attic and wall insulation as nesting material
Due to the health risks associated with coming into contact with rats, we highly advise the use of an experienced professional animal removal service and never recommend attempting to remove them on your own. DIY traps are hardly effective and won’t resolve the root of the problem. At AWR of St. Cloud, our team of professionals will not only trap and remove rat infestations, but we’ll also identify entry points and seal these openings and areas of exposure. We’re also fully equipped to remove, sanitize, and replace attic insulation as part of our full-service attic restoration.

St. Cloud Bat Removal & Control
Bats can be a common problem for St. Cloud homeowners and business owners. In many cases, we receive bat removal calls because a colony has moved into the attic, or a number of other spots, within a home or building. Although these nocturnal winged creatures don’t normally come into close contact with people, bat activity around your property can be dangerous as they begin to defecate spreading their urine and feces, also known as guano, throughout insulation and soffit areas. Guano allows for the perfect growth environment for histoplasmosis, a fungus that can cause severe respiratory issues in humans, putting you, your family, and customers at risk. Guano also has corrosive properties that can damage building material that it comes in contact with over time.
Common bat issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- Swarming colonies of bats outside of the property
- Bats trapped or living in a chimney or attic
- Foul odor due to bat droppings and waste
- Upset family pets or alert behavior (pest can often detect the presence of other animals well before humans can)
With the laws surrounding bat removal, their protected status in many areas, and the dangers they pose, you should never attempt to remove them from your home or business on your own. Instead, trust a team with over 20 years of experience and the right equipment required to get the job done safely and effectively.
At AWR of St. Cloud, we understand just how important bats are to the environment, and take every step to ensure their safe relocation. Most importantly, we’ll identify how they’re entering the property and prevent further bats from moving in. As a more specialized form of animal control, bat removal is performed through the process of exclusion or guiding the animals out of the space as opposed to trapping them. We also highly recommend and provide professional cleanup once the bats have been removed to sanitize the affected area of any guano that may be hazardous to your health. And if they’ve roosted in your attic, we can take care of that too -we’re fully equipped to remove, sanitize, and replace attic insulation as part of our full-service attic restoration.

St. Cloud Opossum Removal & Control
Opossums are quite common in the St. Cloud area, and if you’ve ever had one in your home or business, you know how much of a nuisance they can be. Similar to rats, raccoons, and squirrels, opossums tend to set up shop in cozy areas like crawl spaces, garages, attics, and wall cavities. In many cases, opossums will rip through outdoor screens or gain entry to a property via exposed ducts vents and other openings or chewing through building material – laying waste to everything in their path. Did we also mention the unbearable odor that comes from their urine? Seriously, it’s bad.
Hosts to mites, lice, ticks, fleas, as well as other diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, coccidiosis, tularemia, and spotted fever, opossums shouldn’t be taken lightly. Although they’re known for “playing dead” when they feel threatened, they can also be very aggressive when cornered and are outfitted with razor sharp teeth and claws.
Common opossum issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- Shredded insulation
- Fecal droppings & urine
- Foul odor
- Hosts to ticks, lice, fleas, & mites
- Chewed electrical wires
- Scratching noises coming from within the walls or attic
- Gnawing through wires and pipes
- Damaged ceilings, walls, and insulation via feces and urine
- Using attic and wall insulation as nesting material
Opossums can be dangerous to people and domestic animals. They are extremely attracted to homes and buildings where they can get into garbage cans, gardens with cultivated fruits and vegetables, and other wildlife prey can be found. They can be aggressive and have razor sharp teeth and claws.
We strongly discourage any home or business owner in St. Cloud from approaching or trying to trap opossums on their own. If cornered or threated, they can bite or scratch you with their razor sharp claws and teeth – it’s just not worth the risk. Not to mention, it’s illegal to re-release them back into the wild without a permit. At AWR of St. Cloud, we’ll not only safely and humanely capture and relocate these critters but we’ll also repair any damage caused by them, seal access areas and provide lasting and effective exclusions to prevent them from gaining access to the property again. We’re also fully equipped to remove, sanitize, and replace any affected attic insulation as part of our full-service attic restoration.

St. Cloud Squirrel Removal & Control
Often seen as the cute, furry, harmless critters running up trees and eating acorns or nuts, in reality, squirrels can often become a property owner’s worst nightmare. Seeking shelter from the elements and predators, squirrels are often drawn to the warm and dry environments of garages, attics, and wall cavities. These little critters are incredibly skilled climbers finding their way in through small roof openings, screens, vents, eaves, soffits, or holes in walls – and if they can’t find an existing access point, they’ll just make one of their own by chewing through exterior building material. After all, they’re part of the rat family, and this family loves to chew.
When they’ve made their way into your property, squirrels will begin nesting and store food while their pheromones attract their friends. Soon, you’ll have a scurry of squirrels terrorizing your property, gnawing at everything in sight and naturally, defecating everywhere.
Common squirrel issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- Chew through electrical wiring and PVC plumbing
- Shred available building materials to nest
- Can carry parasites, ticks, fleas, and diseases
- Dead squirrels can leave an unsanitary and foul odor
- Scampering sounds in your attic and walls as they scurry around.
- Shredded attic insulation
- Exposed wood and building material
- Feces and urine soaked building material
Even a small infestation can quickly grow out of control. AWR of St. Cloud can make quick work of these cute little critters, safely and humanely removing squirrels from your property. We’ll also work with you to seal off any exposed areas and access points, as well as preventing them from returning through proper exclusion techniques. We’re also fully equipped to remove, sanitize, and replace any affected attic insulation as part of our full-service attic restoration.

St. Cloud Snake Removal & Control
Of the 44 different types of snakes found in the state of Florida, only six are classified as venomous.
They include:
- Coral Snakes
- Cottonmouths (or Water Moccasins)
- Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes
- Southern Cottonmouths
- Pygmy Rattlesnakes
- Timber Rattlesnakes
With our warm climate and a prime environment for snakes and are quite common in the greater St. Cloud area. They love dark and damp areas, sometimes occupying deserted nests or burrows of other small animals. In rural areas, you’ll often find them in yards within the brush, under your home or deck, and sometimes in your swimming pool or even your house. These slithering creatures have a nack of fitting into tight spaces and gaining access to your property. If you have a rodent or insect problem, don’t let it get out of control or you’ll soon have snakes following, snakes prefer living near insect or rodent populations as it’s an easy source of food.
Odds are, most snakes you find in the wild won’t be venomous, however, even non-venomous snakes can be aggressive when threatened and still pose a threat. And to the average home or business owner, differentiating from a venomous or non-venomous snake from a distance is highly unlikely. Florida has also had an influx of non-native snakes being introduced to the wild such as Pythons and Boa Constrictors. Many of these snakes were originally brought to Florida as pets, but now live in the wild, and without an abundance of natural predators, their numbers are increasing.
If you find yourself dealing with a snake on your property and need it removed, we highly recommend calling a wildlife removal expert. It’s the best way to keep you, your family, pets, and customers safe. At ASAP Wildlife Removal, we’ll quickly and humanely remove any snakes on the premises.

St. Cloud Armadillo Removal & Control
Armadillos are non-aggressive animals who love digging and burrowing throughout yards, and while it may be a favorite pastime of theirs, it makes for a major nuisance to Florida homeowners and businesses causing serious property damage. Professionally trapping and removing armadillos is the best way to handle the issue. In fact, the state of Florida requires that armadillos be trapped and removed by a professional, licensed animal control agency.
Best known for their unique appearance and ability to roll up into an armored ball, armadillos are easily identified. There really isn’t another animal out there that looks like an armadillo. They have thick armored plates along their back shielding them from just about anything and everything nature will throw at them, a matching tail, tufts of hair poking out from under their shell, and a long pointed snout with small pointed ears.
Armadillos are stubborn animals that don’t typically respond well to any consumer repellent often sold on the market and in many cases, they just push right past these detractors. Some people have even resorted to pouring animal urine and bleach to repel armadillos, however, this rarely works and bleach is extremely harmful to the environment.
Common armadillo issues facing St. Cloud homeowners & business owners:
- Larger than average tunnels around your property
- Torn apart & uprooted landscaping
- Concrete cracking over burrow trails
- Damaged pipes within burrow trails
- Smaller, dug-outs throughout your lawn/yard
- Upset family pets or alert behavior (pest can often detect the presence of other animals well before humans can)
Although they’re fascinating and interesting animals, your property is no place for armadillos. They dig and tunnel around looking for bugs and vegetation to eat, causing damage to the surrounding landscape, and even worse, possible damaging water or power line in the process. Armadillos are also nocturnal animals, so they’re sneaking around all hours of the night wreaking havoc while you’re fast asleep dreaming of an armadillo free property in St. Cloud.
With over 20 years of experience, ASAP Wildlife Removal of St. Cloud is your best choice for armadillo removal in the Greater St. Cloud Area. We’ll get the job done right the first time.
