It's going to depend on a lot of factors but if there is a marsh or small river near you, then you have a better chance of seeing a gator close to your house or a pond near your house. You will likely see a greater abundance of other wildlife. Some like that. In areas that are farther from marshes and rivers, alligator occurrences are much less common. Which is why I would advocate removing alligators in TV from these more isolated neighborhood ponds. Repopulation is much less likely to occur, at least for some time. In the ponds closer to marshes such action would prove somewhat futile. Still, I would be much more concerned about hurricanes than wildlife, but personally neither come close to outweighing the reasons for living in Florida in the first place.
