Alligator Removal & Control

Rivers, ponds, lakes and marshes around Metro Houston provide great habitat for alligators, which are an integral part of the natural ecosystem. And, as the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area has grown, interactions between people and alligators have increased. Alligators were removed from the endangered species list in 1978, but remain protected by federal law. Alligators tend to keep to themselves and cause few negative interactions with people, but there are times when nuisance alligators posing a threat to people, pets and property need to be relocated by expert animal control services. Nuisance alligators are those that are in the roadway, repeatedly follow watercraft or approach people who walk near waterways. If an alligator is threatening the livelihood of pets or livestock or has become a threat to human health and safety, it is time to call McGrath Pest Control Service of Houston.
