Alligator Removal & Trapping in South Florida

A nuisance alligator in a backyard, retention pond or on a golf course is not a wait-and-see situation. South Florida's canals, lakes and stormwater ponds are prime alligator habitat, and every year gators wander into pools, garages, driveways and fairways. Florida Wildlife Pros provides fast, licensed nuisance-alligator trapping and removal across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — handled the right way, by a trapper who has been doing this for decades.

Nuisance alligators are handled under Florida's Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program (SNAP) framework, and there are strict rules about who can trap and relocate them. Our team works within those regulations to remove problem gators quickly and legally — you should never attempt to catch, move or feed an alligator yourself. Feeding alligators is illegal in Florida for exactly this reason: it teaches them to associate people with food and creates dangerous, bold animals.

When you call, we assess the animal's size, location and behavior, then deploy the right approach — from baited traps and snares to hands-on capture for gators in pools, garages or enclosed areas. Every removal is done to protect people, pets and the animal, and we clean up and secure the area afterward so you're not left with a mess or an open access point where another gator can return.

For communities on water — waterfront neighborhoods, HOA lake systems, and golf courses with interconnected ponds — a single removal is often just the start. We help property managers and superintendents put a proactive program in place: routine monitoring, resident education, and rapid response so an alligator sighting never becomes an emergency or a liability.

Why Alligator Removal Isn't a DIY Job

It's tempting to try to handle a wildlife problem yourself, but alligator removal done wrong usually makes things worse — and in South Florida it can be genuinely dangerous or even illegal. The animal you're dealing with behaves in specific ways: where it dens and travels, what draws it in, and how it reacts when cornered. Get that wrong and you risk injury, an animal trapped and dying inside your walls, orphaned young, contamination, or a citation for mishandling a regulated species. Decades of hands-on South Florida experience is exactly what turns a risky guessing game into a fast, clean, permanent fix.
