Wildlife Removal in Lakewood Park, FL
Humane, fully-insured removal of the armadillos, snakes, raccoons and rodents that move out of the pine flatwoods and 25 neighborhood lakes into Lakewood Park homes — same-day, with a live answer 24/7 and a written guarantee.
The wildlife challenges Lakewood Park homes share
Lakewood Park isn’t the city of Fort Pierce — it’s a quieter, lake-dotted community of its own just to the north, platted back in 1959 and wrapped in pine flatwoods. That specific mix of old and new homes, water and woodland shapes exactly which animals we’re called for here.
Roughly 4,000 homes around ~25 POA-maintained lakes, bordering the Indrio Savannahs Preserve and Lakewood Regional Park.
- 01
A community built around 25 lakes
The POA maintains around 25 lakes across Lakewood Park, and many homes sit right on the water. That year-round water is a magnet — raccoons forage the banks, water snakes and the occasional cottonmouth hunt the edges, and iguanas bask on the lake walls.
- 02
Pine flatwoods on the doorstep
Homes back directly onto pine flatwoods and grassy swales, with the 297-acre Indrio Savannahs Preserve and the 157 wooded acres of Lakewood Regional Park nearby. Armadillos, snakes and opossums walk straight out of that habitat into yards after dark.
- 03
1959 ranch homes with aging entry points
Much of Lakewood Park dates to the late 1950s and ’60s. Six decades of Florida sun leave original soffits, fascia and roof vents cracked and loose — the exact gaps raccoons and roof rats use to reach an attic.
- 04
Three very different rooflines, side by side
Aging ranch homes, brand-new builds and a large stock of manufactured homes share the same streets. Each has its own weak point — worn soffits, fresh construction gaps, and mobile-home skirting and underbelly openings — so no two inspections here are alike.
- 05
Larger, wooded lots
Bigger lots with woodland edges, sheds and screened lanais give burrowing animals room to work and snakes plenty of cover — which is why armadillo digging and snake sightings top the call list here, not just attic raccoons.
- 06
A citrus-and-cattle edge
Northern St. Lucie County ran on citrus groves and cattle into the 1960s, and that agricultural-edge habitat still rings the community — steady food and cover that keeps rats, raccoons and opossums pressing on the neighborhood.

Why wildlife pressure runs high in Lakewood Park
It comes down to three things Lakewood Park has more of than most Treasure Coast neighborhoods: water, wild edges and time-worn homes. Together they give animals a reason to come, cover to travel, and a way inside.
Water in every direction
Around 25 neighborhood lakes plus private ponds mean no animal here is ever far from water. That reliable source concentrates raccoons, iguanas, water snakes and opossums along the banks — and the streets right behind them.
Preserve and flatwoods edges
The Indrio Savannahs Preserve, Lakewood Regional Park and untouched pine flatwoods border the community. Wildlife moves out of that protected habitat into backyards nightly, so lots nearest the tree line take the heaviest pressure.
Six decades of housing to exploit
From 1959-era ranches to manufactured homes, Lakewood Park’s older and mixed housing stock is full of the soffit gaps, worn vents and skirting openings wildlife needs to get from the yard into the structure.
From open entry point to sealed for good
Trapping alone leaves the hole open for the next animal. Here’s what changes when Swift handles a Lakewood Park home end to end — removal, sealing and cleanup, all documented and guaranteed.
A raccoon reopens the same soffit gap on your 1959 ranch every spring to den.
The soffit and fascia are sealed with weather-rated materials the raccoon can’t pull back down.
Roof rats run the roofline and nest in the attic insulation year-round.
Roofline and vent gaps are screened in steel, the colony is gone, and the attic is cleared out.
An armadillo tunnels under the lanai or shed, undermining the slab.
The digger is removed and the burrow is packed and blocked so nothing re-dens there.
Droppings and guano sit in the attic, carrying a real health risk.
The space is fully sanitized, deodorized and restored — safe for your family again.

A few local habits go a long way on these lots — especially the lakeside and flatwoods-edge homes.
Keep the strip along your lake or pond trimmed and clear of dense cover. Overgrown banks give snakes cover and iguanas soft soil to burrow — a tidy edge is far less inviting.
On older ranch homes, have soffits, fascia and roof vents checked before denning season. Closing worn gaps with steel — not foam — shuts the door on raccoons and roof rats.
Bury hardware-cloth aprons along shed skirting, lanai edges and manufactured-home underbellies so armadillos and opossums can’t tunnel or den underneath.
Trim limbs and palm fronds back from the roof and thin brush along the flatwoods edge, removing the runways and cover animals use to reach the house.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
