Professional Alligator Removal & Wildlife Management

Safe, Legal, and Effective Alligator Removal for Homes & Businesses

Alligators are dangerous, territorial predators that can pose a serious threat to people, pets, and livestock when they venture too close to homes, golf courses, and businesses. In South Carolina and North Carolina, alligator sightings are becoming more common in residential areas due to habitat loss. Palmetto Wildlife Extractors provides licensed alligator removal services, ensuring the safe and legal relocation of these powerful reptiles.

The Dangers of Alligator Encounters

Why Alligator Removal is Essential

Alligators are protected wildlife, meaning removal requires professional handling and legal compliance. When alligators settle near human activity, they pose:

  • A direct danger to people and pets, especially near water.
  • Property damage to landscaping, ponds, and irrigation systems.
  • Increased risk of aggression, particularly during nesting season.
  • A long-term threat, as relocated alligators often return if not properly handled.

Attempting to remove an alligator yourself is illegal and highly dangerous—always call a professional.
