# Bird Control in Daytona Beach, FL Source: https://drcritter.com/bird-control/daytona-beach-fl/ Type: Local service page Service: Bird Control Area served: Daytona Beach, FL --- Professional Bird Control services in Daytona Beach, FL. Dr. Critter specializes in clearing nesting birds out of vents, soffits, and commercial signage, then sealing the openings for good and provides expert wildlife control throughout Central Florida. **Bird Control in Daytona Beach, FL — key facts:** Dr. Critter has been Florida's licensed wildlife specialist since 1996 — nearly three decades of bird control work across Central Florida. Our team holds the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Nuisance Wildlife Trapper credential required to legally trap, exclude, and relocate birds in Florida. We serve Daytona Beach and the surrounding area with same-day response, lifetime warranty on structural exclusion work, and a 4.8-star rating across 366 Google reviews. Bird work in Central Florida is nesting material out of the vent or soffit, droppings cleaned and disinfected, and the opening screened, because an unscreened vent is re-nested the following season — we handle it as part of a single quoted job rather than billing the cleanup as a surprise second invoice. **Wildlife in Daytona Beach (Volusia County):** Daytona Beach spans the Atlantic barrier island and the mainland along the Halifax River, close to Tomoka State Park and its coastal marshes. Older beachside and mainland structures here draw raccoons, roof rats, and bats, and the river and marsh edges bring snakes onto waterfront properties. **Florida wildlife facts & law:** According to the [Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission](https://myfwc.com/conservation/you-conserve/wildlife/bats/bats-in-buildings/), all 13 of the state's native bat species are protected, bat maternity season runs April 16 through August 14, and Florida Administrative Code 68A-9.010 makes exclusion during that window illegal. April 15 is the last day a building can be cleared without a permit, and the work cannot resume until August 15. The same rule governs how: FWC requires an exclusion device to stay up a minimum of four nights, and the work to be done when overnight temperatures are forecast to reach at least 50°F, so the colony can actually leave. According to [University of Florida IFAS Extension](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/topics/rodents), a roof rat female produces litters of five to eight pups after a gestation of only 21 to 23 days and can raise four or five litters a year, which is how one unsealed roofline gap becomes 20 to 40 rats inside twelve months. UF/IFAS also reports that the nine-banded armadillo, the only armadillo species in Florida, gives birth to four genetically identical young per litter, so one breeding pair is enough to leave an entire yard pocked with digging. On snakes, UF/IFAS puts Florida at roughly 50 native species of which only six are venomous, and records that just four of those six occur in central and southern Florida: the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, the pygmy rattlesnake, the cottonmouth, and the harlequin coral snake. So most of what turns up beside a pool deck here is harmless, and under FAC 68A-4.001 it is protected too. Because raccoons and bats are the state's principal rabies-vector species, FWC requires nuisance wildlife to be handled by the property owner or a licensed trapper and, under rule 68A-9.010, released on the capture property, taken to a licensed facility, or euthanized humanely rather than relocated.
