Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator Registration

Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators - Businesses

The FWC does not license nuisance wildlife control operators. Before removing an animal, please seek assistance in understanding the laws protecting wildlife and your options for resolving the problem. Other permits may be required before removing nuisance wildlife.

Wildlife control operators may voluntarily request to have their name and contact information added to the Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator Directory by following the link at the bottom of this page. Persons contacting the FWC looking for help with nuisance wildlife are directed to the nuisance Wildlife Control Operator Directory.

Commercial nuisance wildlife control operators (businesses) who want to remove mice and rats (commensal rodents) from structures should contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) before doing that type of work. For information about DOACS regulations or certification and licensing of pest control companies, visit the Division of Agriculture and Environmental Services (AES) website or call 850-617-7997.

Nuisance Alligator Trappers

The Commission contracts with private nuisance alligator trappers to remove specific nuisance alligators.  Only a licensed nuisance alligator trapper may capture or remove an alligator. Call 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286) to report a nuisance alligator.
