Non-Native Mammals

Although some nonnative animals may seem harmless to humans and pets, they often compete for the same food sources as our native wildlife, forcing our native species out of their natural habitat in search of a meal. Being nonnative, these animals often do not have natural predators to balance out the population. This creates a huge challenge for Florida's ecosystem. Here is a list of non-native mammals. Help us control this population by calling us when you find them intruding on your property. If you're not sure what is in your attic or crawl space, let a professional help.
