Inland Pinellas Park still lives with water
Pinellas Park sits in the middle of the county, away from the beaches, so people are sometimes surprised by how much wildlife shows up. The reason is water. The city was laid out about a century ago as a farm colony on low, wet muck land, and it only works today because of a network of drainage channels run by the Pinellas Park Water Management District. Those channels, along with Joe’s Creek just to the south, act like hallways for raccoons, opossums and snakes moving between neighborhoods after dark.
Just outside the city limits, Sawgrass Lake Park in Lealman holds 400 acres and one of the largest maple swamps on the Gulf Coast. Closer in, Freedom Lake Park and the retention ponds tucked between subdivisions add more edge habitat. Put that next to flat lots, low-slung homes and plenty of sheds and you get steady ground-level animal pressure, plus roof rats and squirrels overhead. It’s the same story in neighboring St. Petersburg and Largo, with a few local twists.
What we see in Pinellas Park
- Central Pinellas County
- Drainage channels crisscross the city
- Sawgrass Lake Park just outside town
- Many manufactured home communities
Manufactured homes and the skirting problem
Pinellas Park has a lot of mobile and manufactured home communities, and they bring their own wildlife pattern. The space under the home is dry, shaded and close to the ground, which is exactly what an opossum or raccoon wants for a den. Once vinyl skirting gets cracked, pulled loose at a corner or pushed in by a mower, animals slip under and settle in near the ductwork and plumbing.
We remove whatever is living under there, check for young, and then fix the real issue: the skirting gaps, loose access panels and torn vapor barrier that let it in. Our Pinellas Park wildlife exclusion work covers that sealing in detail.
- Loose or cracked vinyl skirting panels
- Gaps where skirting meets steps and porches
- Torn underbelly insulation or vapor barrier
- Duct runs and plumbing chases with open ends
- Sheds and carports set close to the home

How our wildlife control visits work in Pinellas Park
It’s a short, predictable process. Nothing gets set or sealed until you know what we found.
We look at the whole property
That means the roof line, attic, soffits and vents, plus skirting, crawl spaces, sheds and the yard. You walk the property with us and see the entry points and signs yourself.
We explain and quote
You hear what the animal is, how we plan to remove it and what needs repair. The price reflects your property, the animal and how many openings there are.
We remove it humanely
Live traps or one-way doors, depending on the animal. We follow FWC rules, check traps on schedule and keep mothers and young together whenever we can.
We seal it up
Every gap gets closed with materials that hold up to chewing and Florida weather, so the next animal along the channel doesn’t move into the same spot.

Josh from the Critter Guys did an excellent job explaining the process for removal of bats. He emphasized the humane aspect by coming back several times to ensure that all the bats were no longer on our property. He then sealed all opening to our soffit and removed the bat trap. Josh went beyond what we expected. When we called to provide updates he always answered and listened to us. I highly recommend this company and a huge shout-out to Josh. Thank you Critter Guys Humane wildlife services for a job well done.

Dion is doing a great job responding to our needs and flexible to our schedule since there is not always access to the house. He explains what we need, points out trouble spots and fixes some of them when possible. Thanks Dion! …

A loose panel now beats a chewed duct later
Our first recommendation is always to close up the property before something gets in. Calling at the first scratch or the first loose skirting panel nearly always means a smaller job than waiting until an animal has chewed ducts or soiled the insulation.
On the job
Commercial animal removal along US 19 and Park Boulevard
Pinellas Park has a lot of business frontage on US 19, Park Boulevard and 49th Street, plus warehouses and light industrial lots. Those properties deal with a different mix: rats around dumpsters and loading docks, bats tucked into building joints, and raccoons in drop ceilings or roof equipment. Our crews are based in Fern Park, near Orlando, where we got our start in Central Florida wildlife removal, and we bring the same commercial approach to Pinellas County.
Property managers and HOAs
We work with property managers, HOAs and townhome or manufactured home communities across the city. One inspection can cover a whole row of units, so you see the shared entry points and fix them once.
Bait stations outside, traps inside
For rodent pressure around commercial buildings we can place tamper-resistant bait station boxes outside and handle trapping and sealing inside, so the building isn’t feeding the problem from the outside in.

Wildlife questions from Pinellas Park homeowners
Don’t see your question? Call or text (321) 203-6963 and ask a real person.
What does wildlife control cost in Pinellas Park?
We can’t give a number before seeing the property and what’s living there. Your quote depends on which animal it is, how many entry points need sealing, whether it’s a site-built or manufactured home, and whether cleanup is needed. Nothing starts until you’ve approved it.
How do you get an opossum out from under a mobile home?
We find where it’s getting in, usually a loose skirting panel, and set a humane trap or one-way exit there. Once it’s out and we’ve checked for young, we repair and secure the skirting so it can’t return. Blocking the gap while the animal is still under the home just traps it inside.
Are snakes common near the drainage channels in Pinellas Park?
Snakes do tend to show up near water, and the channels and retention ponds give them cover. Most snakes around homes are harmless, but Florida has six venomous species, so don’t try to identify one up close. Call or text us and we’ll remove it.
Is it safe to leave a raccoon in my attic until it moves on?
It’s better not to wait. Raccoons tear up insulation and ductwork, their latrines can carry raccoon roundworm, and they’re one of the animals most often found with rabies in Florida. A mother may also be raising kits, which makes timing and humane handling more important.
Do you handle wildlife problems for mobile home parks and HOAs?
Yes. We work with community managers, HOAs, townhome communities and property managers as well as single homeowners. We can inspect several units, show where animals are moving between homes, and plan the work so it’s done once.
Can armadillos damage my slab or driveway?
They can. Armadillos dig burrows next to slabs, walkways and pool decks, and over time that can undermine the edge. We trap them humanely and can recommend ways to make the yard less inviting.
