I lived in a master planned community in south Florida for several years and our home was on a very large man made lake which was part of the water management system. There were zero gators in our lakes/ponds because the pipes had large grates to keep gators out. I lived in the community for 11 years (five years on that beautiful lake) and never saw one gator. It can be done.
Alligators are sunning themselves at your front door by swimming through the pipes?????

How many alligators have you seen at your front door?

Given your (and other's) concerns, perhaps that master planned community in South Florida is a better fit for you?
