Welcome to Invasive Species Removal For All Of Florida - Trees to Toads and Everything In Between

Full Services For Removal & Control Of Invasive Species Across Florida - Call Us At 239-919-7737

Invasive Exotic Plant Species can completely take over an ecosystem.  Not only do they displace the native vegetation, but also the native fauna that utilize it.  In addition to being bad for the environment, the monoculture that often develops is unsightly and impenetrable.  Often it obstructs views of waterways and can make land unusable.

The problem of invasive species in Florida is quite serious. The state’s warm climate and diverse ecosystems make it particularly vulnerable to invasions. Invasive species can disrupt local habitats, outcompete native species for resources, and alter ecosystems.

Some of the most notorious invasive species in Florida include the Burmese python, which preys on native wildlife, and Brazilian pepper trees, which can overtake natural areas. Other examples include lionfish in marine environments and various non-native plants that crowd out local flora.

Efforts to manage and control these species are ongoing, but challenges remain due to the rapid spread of invasives and the difficulty of eradicating established populations. Overall, the impact on biodiversity, agriculture, and the economy is significant, making it a critical issue for conservation in the state.

Our Mission: We Are Committed

Our mission is to give native species a chance by removing invasive species and by retrieving lost traps and nets.

Removing invasive species in Florida involves a combination of methods, given the state's unique ecosystems and the diversity of invasive species present. Here are some common strategies used:

  1. Mechanical Removal: This method includes physically removing invasive plants and animals. For example, teams may cut, mow, or uproot invasive plants like Brazilian pepper or melaleuca. For invasive animal species, methods like trapping or hunting are often employed.
  2. Chemical Control: Herbicides and pesticides may be used to manage invasive plant populations. This approach is carefully regulated to minimize harm to native species and the environment.
  3. Biological Control: Introducing natural predators or diseases specific to the invasive species can help control their populations. This method requires extensive research to ensure that the control agents do not negatively affect native species.
  4. Public Education and Outreach: Engaging the community is crucial. Programs that educate residents about the impacts of invasive species and encourage them to report sightings or participate in removal efforts are essential.
  5. Restoration Projects: After removing invasives, restoring native habitats is important. This can involve planting native species and managing the land to support biodiversity.
  6. Collaboration: Various agencies, including state and federal organizations, non-profits, and community groups, work together on invasive species management. Coordination helps maximize resources and effectiveness.
  7. Monitoring and Research: Ongoing monitoring of ecosystems helps assess the effectiveness of removal efforts and informs future strategies. Research into new invasive species threats is also critical for proactive management.

These combined efforts aim to protect Florida's unique ecosystems from the adverse effects of invasive species, which can disrupt food chains, outcompete native species, and alter habitats.
