Cane Toad Removal Services

Cane toads, also known as bufo or marine toads, are a large invasive species that are poisonous to most animals including domestic pets. The toxin from the adult cane toad can seriously harm and even kill pets and wildlife if it is ingested. The toxin glands are located on each side of the cane toad's head. They release the toxin as their defense. Once this toxin has been swallowed by dogs, cats, or even small mammals, it can cause disorientation, red gums, foaming of the mouth, seizures and even death within 15 minutes. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages landowners to humanely kill cane toads on their own property whenever possible.  

We are a certified vendor of the one and only Cane Catcher which is the world's only touchless cane toad trap!  Rather than conducting a one time night hunt to remove the toads, the Cane Catcher system catches them 24 hours a day / 7 days a week!

Using the cane catcher system is a cost effective removal solution for communities and properties that are being invaded with these toxic creatures. Communities utilizing the CANE CATCHER system have seen a reduction in toad populations by as much as 90%! 

Each cane catcher station must be monitored regularly. Our weekly monitoring program includes disposal of toads, rebaiting and resetting of each unit. During each visit we also log how many toads are being removed from the community. 

Not so Fun Fact: Female cane toads can produce as many as 30,000 eggs per season! So every toad removed makes an impact on saving our environment from this invasive predator. The first round of breeding occurs in late February into March when the weather starts to warm up. It continues throughout March into April. The cane toads start to come out of their winter hibernation stage as the temperatures get warmer. The second round of breeding occurs around August thru September and can sometimes last throughout October.
