Humane Wildlife Removal in Osceola & Orange Counties, Florida
If you're hearing heavy thumps over the lanai at 2 a.m. or waking up to mulch beds plowed like someone ran a tiller through them, that's a normal Tuesday around Kissimmee and St. Cloud. Raccoons, opossums, gray squirrels, and armadillos don't take a season off here. They den in block-home attics, under sheds, and along retention ponds where grubs and trash never run out.
We've pulled raccoons out of soffits chewed open after an afternoon storm and screened armadillo digs under sheds at US-192 rentals. Our fix is simple and humane. Live traps or one-way doors where they fit, then we seal the hole with real material so you don't pay for the same job twice. If it thumps, scratches, or stinks, we'll put eyes on it and tell you straight what's living there.

Orlando Pest Pros
The usual suspects around Kissimmee attics and yards
There's no off-season here. Live near a retention pond, canal, or oak hammock in Buenaventura Lakes or Hunters Creek and you've got roof rats in the citrus, raccoons in the trash, and armadillos working the mulch beds after every afternoon storm. Screen enclosures and lanais help folks, not wildlife. One lifted vent or sun-baked soffit seam is all it takes.
Signs tell us who's in there before we ever set a trap. Armadillos leave pitted lawns and soil fanned under the shed. Raccoons thump hard after dark and leave big latrines. Opossums shuffle and stink. Gray squirrels chew in daylight and leave 2-inch holes with tooth marks. Flying squirrels and bats whisper at night and leave pellet droppings or guano streaks on stucco. We'll show you the rubs and droppings so you know we're not guessing.
Good to know
Humane work that follows Florida FWC guidance
We ID first, then pick the least stressful way out. That's usually a shaded live cage trap checked daily or a one-way door over the entry so the animal leaves and can't get back in. We don't use poison. It causes a slow death and it kills owls, hawks, and your neighbor's cat when a poisoned animal gets eaten. Traps, droppings, and nesting material get handled with gloves, respirators, and bags, not bare hands.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission guidance calls the next step. Raccoons, bats, and a few other species can't legally be hauled to the woods and let go, since that spreads disease and dumps a problem on someone else. In practice that means release on the same property where allowed or humane handling by a pro, plus timed exclusion for bats. You'll get a straight answer from us on what's allowed for your animal, and we put sealing first so you're not trapping forever.
From the field
Sealing the house so they stay out
Trapping alone buys you a month. The next raccoon will test the same soft soffit. We've learned to close everything while we're there. Soffit seams, fascia gaps, roof returns, AC line penetrations, and gable vents get metal, hardware cloth, and sealant that teeth can't chew. Sheds and decks get screened with buried wire. For armadillos we trench a low L-footer and rake out harborage. Cut limbs 8 feet off the roof, lock trash lids, and bring pet bowls in at night.
Then we deal with the mess they left. Raccoon latrines and opossum droppings soak insulation and stink up drywall, and that odor pulls in palmetto bugs and roof rats fast in this heat, while soggy fascia invites Formosan termites. We pull accessible soiled insulation, bag nesting debris, treat with enzyme deodorizer, and flag chewed wire sleeves and stained decking with photos. You won't wonder what still needs a handyman. It'll be sealed, drier, and quiet.
Florida rules, straight talk
We get them out, then we keep them out
Raccoons and a few other species can't legally be relocated in Florida, so hauling them to the woods isn't an option. Our work centers on humane removal on site and sealing the house so the next family can't move in.
That means covered live traps or one-way doors, daily checks, and metal-backed patches the same visit the attic goes quiet.

Simple and transparent
How it works
From first call to final walkthrough, everything is handled by a licensed local professional.
-
Roof-to-yard inspection
We ladder the eaves, pop the attic hatch, and walk the fence, shed, and lanai base. You're getting photos of tracks, droppings, rubs, and chew holes, plus a call on species and if babies are inside. That decides trap versus door, and we won't seal young in.
-
Humane get-out plan
We set cabled live traps in shade or bolt a one-way door right on the hole. Traps get checked daily, animals stay calm and covered, and moms with kits get extra care so nobody's left squealing in a wall. No poisons, ever.
-
Seal and harden the entry
Once it's quiet, we close it for real. Galvanized flashing, quarter-inch hardware cloth, vent guards, and polyurethane sealant on stucco gaps, not foam alone. Armadillo runs get a buried footer. We'll mark limbs and trash habits bringing them in.
-
Clean up and keep them off
We bag accessible droppings and nest fluff, spray enzyme treatment for odor, and vacuum guano dust where we can reach. You'll leave with a short list. Lock cans, pick citrus, feed pets inside, keep mulch pulled off the slab.

Wildlife Removal FAQs
Yes. We use live cage traps and one-way doors, no poisons, and handle animals quietly for on-site release where allowed. Then we seal entries so you don't get repeats.
State rules don't allow moving raccoons off your property, since it spreads disease and they often die or trek back. We'll explain your lawful options and focus on removal plus sealing.
Listen for timing. Gray squirrels move by day, raccoons and flying squirrels thump and patter at night. Chewed soffits, droppings, and musky odor confirm it, but let us inspect the attic safely.
We trap the active digger, backfill burrows, and add a buried footer around sheds and beds. Pick fallen fruit and thin dense cover. Grub killer alone won't stop them.
Yes. We remove accessible droppings and nesting debris, treat odor, and flag stained insulation and chewed materials. Sealing at the same time keeps squirrels and rats from moving back in.
