Common problems here
Hammock, islands and the Gulf
For a city of its size, Dunedin has a lot of wild land, from a hardwood hammock in town to two barrier islands offshore.
Hammock Park
The city's 90-acre natural park on San Mateo Drive. FWC's Great Florida Birding Trail describes bayheads and hydric hammock, with wading birds, ospreys and barred owls all year, and gopher tortoises.
Honeymoon and Caladesi islands
Honeymoon Island State Park (2,824 acres) starts at the end of the Dunedin Causeway, where snowy and Wilson's plovers nest on the beach. Caladesi Island (2,420 acres) has gopher tortoises and Florida box turtles.
Feeding is a nuisance
Under Pinellas County code, leaving food or garbage out so it attracts raccoons, coyotes or other wildlife, and creates a nuisance, is a public nuisance.
Rats in Dunedin
Dunedin's trash rules, written for rodents
Dunedin's Solid Waste page is one of the few city pages that names rodents outright. See rat removal across Pinellas County.
Bag it first
"To avoid attraction and infestation of bugs and rodents," Dunedin asks residents to bag household garbage before it goes in the cart.
A week between pickups
Dunedin collects trash, recycling and yard waste once a week. Loose food waste in a cart for seven days in Florida heat draws rats.
Carts back by 7 a.m.
The city asks that carts come off the curb by 7 a.m. the day after collection. A cart left out is easier for animals to tip.
Poison has a cost
UF/IFAS Extension in Pinellas puts sealing, sanitation and traps first, and poison bait last. It cites great horned owls in a local park that died of rodenticide poisoning.

Brandon came out of his way to help remove a raccoon who had decided to use my front door mat for nap. Brandon was very polite and professional. He removed Ralph without issue and pretty quickly.

There's a first time for everything! Somehow a snake made it's way into our office building and chose my office to hang out. I called Pro Wildlife on Sunday and explained it to the tech. They arranged the appointment to come and remove it for today @ 9am. The tech Zak Brooks arrived and got the snake out very quickly! He was friendly and professional!! Definitely recommend and we'd use them again if needed! Thank you again!

Josh came out & removed a dead cat from my engine that had been there for over six months! Absolutely no one else would do the job and other places said they couldn’t even find the animal. Josh found it and removed it with ease. I can’t thank him enough!
