Cane toad, iguana & nuisance wildlife control in Weston

Weston backs right up to the Everglades. Its lakes, canals and preserves bring cane toads, iguanas and other nuisance wildlife into neighborhood yards — Toad Shield keeps your pets and family safe.

Weston is about as close to the Everglades as suburban South Florida gets. The city’s western edge runs along US 27, and beyond it lies the Everglades Water Conservation Area — open sawgrass marsh that stretches for miles. Inside the city, a network of lakes and canals runs through communities like Bonaventure, Weston Hills, Savanna, Windmill Ranch, and The Ridges.

That’s great for views and wildlife-watching — and it means Weston families see plenty of cane toads after summer rains, a wide variety of nuisance wildlife, and iguanas sunning on lake banks. With so many dogs and kids in Weston back yards, prevention is especially worthwhile.

Cane toad removal in Weston

Cane toads breed in Weston’s lakes and canals and move into yards across the city at night. We remove active toads, close gaps under fences and gates, and install barrier around the yard so lake-facing properties stay safe for pets.

Invasive & nuisance wildlife in Weston

Living next to the Everglades means more wildlife and more variety. Muscovy ducks and Egyptian geese gather on lake banks and pool decks, Cuban treefrogs pack into lanais and screen enclosures, raccoons and opossums get into garages and trash, and armadillos dig up lawns. Coyotes are sometimes seen near the western edge along US 27. Nonvenomous snakes — racers, rat snakes, water snakes, garter and ribbon snakes — are common. Removal depends on the species, your property, and FWC rules, and we’ll help reduce what draws wildlife to your yard.

Iguana control in Weston

Weston’s lake banks and canal slopes are prime iguana habitat. Burrows erode banks and can undermine patios and pool decks, and iguanas strip ornamental plants. We trap and remove them and help reduce what draws them to your yard.

Weston tip

Keep a mowed strip along the lake

Many Weston lake banks slope down to the water with landscaping right to the edge. A mowed strip between the lake and your yard removes cover for snakes and toads and makes it much easier to spot wildlife before your pets do.

Weston questions we hear

Are pythons a risk in Weston neighborhoods?
Burmese pythons live in the Everglades west of Weston, and occasional sightings near the city’s western edge are reported. They’re rare in neighborhoods, but if one turns up we remove Burmese pythons in line with FWC rules. If you see a large snake you can’t identify, keep children and pets well away and don’t approach it. We also remove other nonvenomous snakes and nuisance wildlife, and help clear the lakeside cover that draws snakes in.
