It wasn't long ago that Gulfport was mostly forested and rural.

Many of our wild friends either get pushed out or become 'urbanized'.

Peoples attics seem like a cozy nesting place. Trash cans and pet food are easy meals and swimming pools are convenient toilets and bathing spots.

As harmless as their intentions may be, some wildlife can be extremely destructive to your property. We specialize in Gulfort rat control and raccoon and squirrel removal.

The Trapper Guy will come out and humanely remove the live animal from your property. I will fix the damage caused and make preventative measures so they won't return.

With proper wildlife control we can co-exist with our wild neighbors.

 

* 24 hour services are for emergencies only. Live animal in a living area where safety of the occupants is in question is considered an emergency.

Revised Ordinance Will Bite the Hand That Feeds Wildlife

The Gabber June 7, 2017 by Brian Hartz

At its Tuesday, June 6, meeting, Gulfport City Council unanimously passed ordinance 2017-05, which will make it illegal to feed and/or possess wildlife on any city-owned property.

The measure is partly a response to complaints from residents near Wood Ibis Park, who say visitors are feeding bread to the ducks in and around the park despite being admonished not to. The residents cite scientific evidence that says white bread meant for human consumption has little to no nutritional value for ducks and might even be harmful to their health.

“It’s killing the birds,” Town Shores resident Beverley Comstock said during public comment time. “We now have scientific studies [to prove it]. Times have changed, but people don’t want to change. They fight it; they say, ‘Why? Where’s the sign saying not to feed [wildlife]? It doesn’t hurt the birds.’ They just can’t believe it. We need education here.”

Comstock went on to say that she’s seen rats scurrying around Wood Ibis Park – presumably a result of the proliferation of bread crumbs being strewn about by park visitors. “It’s a public nuisance,” she said. “There are at least 10 people a day coming to feed [the ducks] with whole loaves of bread.”

The ordinance constitutes an amendment to a section of the city code pertaining to streets, sidewalks, parks and parkways. City Manager Jim O’Reilly said the revision will bring Gulfport into alignment with Pinellas County regarding mistreatment of wildlife on publicly owned land, not just parks, meaning that feeding wildlife on sidewalks and other areas outside park boundaries will also be prohibited.

“Basically what we’ve done is adopt the county’s language,” he said. “Hopefully this will deal with some of the issues we’ve realized, specifically at Tomlinson Park and Wood Ibis Park.”

The Gulfport Police Department told the Gabber that a first offense would be considered a Class 5 code violation and would come with a $93 fine.
