Animal control
If I discover a gator (or other wild animal) in the yard (or house), who should I call? I saw online there a number of animal control companies serving the Villages area. Does TV offer animal control as a public service or do you have to pay for a private firm to come remove the gator (or other animal)?
[hasn't happened yet, but I like to be prepared] |

If you call in to report a gator, the vast majority of those are killed and sent to tannery shops. Heavy price for crossing someones yard going to one lake from another.

My “go-to” seems to be Villages Customer Service. If they don’t know, they’ll find out.

Sumter County Web Site
Nuisance Wildlife
What is Considered Nuisance Wildlife?Racoon Florida Fish and Wildlife Commision (FWC) defines nuisance wildlife as wildlife that causes (or is about to cause) property damage, presents a threat to public safety, or causes an annoyance within, under, or upon a building. Examples of wildlife that could be a nuisance to residents are: Coyotes Foxes Opossums Raccoons Skunks Snakes Removal of Nuisance Wildlife Animal Services (AS) generally deals only with domestic animals. Domestic animals exclude wildlife and exotic animals in accordance with Chapter 4 of the Sumter County Code. AS works cooperatively with the Sumter County Health Department and FWC to educate the public regarding nuisance wildlife. Contact the local FWC office located in Ocala at 352-732-1225. Referrals to private trappers are provided to residents who report nuisance wildlife in most situations. Visit the FWC website for a listing of trappers. AlligatorSpecies Dealt With FWC will respond to situations involving alligators (4 feet or larger), deer, bears, bats (non-human exposure), most migratory birds or eggs, state or federally listed species of special concern, and threatened or endangered species. View the Threatened / Endangered Species Listing for more information

They're only open til 5pm. If the gator wanders in at 9 pm, is there another alternative?

So, back to my original question regarding animal control as a public service by TV or the county, vs. hiring a trapper if necessary. Sounds like it's not much of a concern -- I'm the new kid on the block, so still learning the ropes. Has anyone actually ever had to call an animal control service?
