Reptile & Wildlife Removal in Miami-Dade County

Elite Reptile Removal covers Miami-Dade County from the Aventura and Sunny Isles canals down through Coral Gables, Kendall and the agricultural edge of Homestead. Iguanas, snakes, dead-animal odors and general wildlife exclusion are handled for single-family homes, condo associations, HOAs and commercial properties.

Same-day service is available, with emergency requests prioritized.

Does Elite Reptile Removal serve North Miami Beach?

Yes. North Miami Beach is part of our Miami-Dade County coverage, along with neighbouring Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami and Golden Beach. Iguanas along the canals and seawalls and snakes in landscaped yards are the most common calls we take there. We also service condo associations and commercial properties. Call (305) 587-5312 to check same-day availability for your building.

Canal and seawall pressure in the east

Miami-Dade's eastern edge is stitched together by finger canals, basins and seawalls from Aventura through Coconut Grove. Green iguanas use those banks as basking corridors and dig burrows straight into the soil behind seawall caps and pool decks. Removal on these properties usually has to be paired with burrow closure, or new animals move into the same tunnels within weeks.

Rock ridge and limestone in the west

West of the Turnpike — Kendall, West Kendall, Doral and the Redland — thin soil over limestone means voids and rubble piles rather than deep burrows. Snakes shelter in those cavities, in irrigation boxes and under stored materials, which is why calls there are more often about snakes in garages, pump houses and equipment yards than about iguanas on seawalls.

Dense condo and mid-rise stock

Along Brickell, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach and Aventura, most of the housing stock is multi-family. That changes the work: access has to be coordinated with building management, dead-animal odors travel through shared chases and trash rooms, and exclusion focuses on garage entries, utility penetrations and roof-level gaps rather than a single home's soffit.

Agricultural south

Around Homestead and the Redland, nurseries, groves and open drainage attract both native snakes and non-native species that arrived through the plant and pet trades. Property owners there tend to need repeat perimeter work through the warm months rather than one-off captures.

Cities and communities we cover in Miami-Dade

How animals are handled

Native snakes and eligible wildlife are captured safely and relocated when legally permitted.

Invasive species such as green iguanas and tegus are handled humanely in accordance with current Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) requirements.

Pricing in Miami-Dade

Pricing depends on the property size, level of activity, access conditions, required trapping or exclusion work, and whether ongoing service is needed. Contact us for a quote.

Which parts of Miami-Dade County get the most iguana calls?

The canal and seawall neighbourhoods — Aventura, North Miami Beach, Miami Shores, Coconut Grove and the waterway blocks of Coral Gables. Anywhere with soft soil, a warm bank and ornamental fruit or flowers nearby tends to hold iguanas year-round.

Do you coordinate with condo and building management in Miami-Dade?

Yes. For mid-rise and high-rise properties we work through management or the association so access to garages, roofs, trash rooms and utility chases is arranged before the visit, and we provide documentation the board can circulate to residents.

Are non-native reptiles other than iguanas found in Miami-Dade?

Yes. Tegus, Nile monitors, spiny-tailed iguanas and large constrictors all appear in parts of the county. Non-native species are handled in accordance with current Florida FWC requirements, which differ from how native snakes are handled.

Can you service commercial and municipal sites in Miami-Dade?

Yes — golf courses, marinas, warehouses, nurseries, hotels, restaurants and equipment yards. Commercial sites usually need a scheduled perimeter program because the surrounding habitat keeps producing new animals.
