Largo has ubundant wildlife. Most think wildlife like to live in nature parks...but all the food is in the urban areas.
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 largo rat control and raccoon trapping.
The
Trapper Guy will come out and
humanely remove
the live animal
from your property and if possible,
relocate it.
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.

Workshop
to discuss state’s concerns with invasive
animals
Article published on Wednesday, July
12, 2006
LARGO – An Exotic Wildlife Workshop
will explore how monster snakes, Cuban
tree frogs, exotic lizards and more
came to wander among Florida residents.
The workshop will be Friday, July 28,
10 a.m. until 4 p.m., at the Pinellas
County Extension. Experts will discuss
the fight against invasive animal species
and what individual homeowners can do.
Wildlife educators from
the University of Florida, University
of Tampa and Pinellas Extension will
share facts about released exotic species
and their negative impacts on native
wildlife populations. They will talk
about recent research, how these non-native
animals interact with people and if
efforts are in place to remove them.
The information-packed workshop is open
to anyone with an interest in Florida
wildlife.
• Pythons in the Everglades
and other non-native snakes will be
discussed with Dr. Kenneth Krysko, the
collection manager at the division of
herpetology at the University of Florida.

herpetological species.
