Parks and preserves on the bay
Safety Harbor packs a county park, a city preserve and a waterfront park into a small area along Old Tampa Bay.
Philippe Park
Pinellas County's Philippe Park covers 92 acres on Philippe Parkway, under big shade trees. UF/IFAS Extension in Pinellas reported that great horned owls there died of rat poison.
Folly Farm Nature Preserve
The city's nature preserve covers just under 10 acres. Small preserves like this one keep habitat right next to neighborhoods.
Waterfront Park
The city's 7.3-acre Waterfront Park sits on Old Tampa Bay at Veterans Memorial Lane.
The city's own wildlife advice
Safety Harbor asks residents to keep trash bins tightly closed and to pick up pet food, spilled birdseed and fallen fruit. The city's rodent advice is covered in the rats section below.
Rats in Safety Harbor
Safety Harbor's take on rats
Few cities say as much about rodent control as Safety Harbor does. Its wildlife page reads like a guide to doing it without harming owls and pets. See rat removal across Pinellas County.
No such thing as safe poison
The city says there's no such thing as a safe rat poison, that poisoned rodents get eaten by the predators that help control rats, and that rat poison kills dogs and cats too.
Never glue traps
Safety Harbor says never to use glue or sticky traps, which kill songbirds and other wildlife. It suggests snap traps or electronic traps for rodents still indoors.
Let the owls help
The city suggests an owl nest box, noting a single owl can catch 1,400 rodents a year. UF/IFAS Pinellas reported great horned owls at Philippe Park that died of rat poison.
Lids that close
Garbage goes in the city's 90-gallon barrel, collected once a week, and the lid must close. The city also asks residents to pick up pet food, spilled birdseed and fallen fruit.
Sanitation Division
727-724-1550, for barrels, missed pickups and dead animals on city roads.
Rats inside your home
The city asks residents who hire help to choose exterminators who don't use anticoagulant rodenticides. Call us at (844) 264-6254.

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!
