What is the FWCs alligator nuisance program?
This program is unrelated to alligator hunting. The Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program contracts with nuisance alligator trappers. Approximately 40 private trappers are contracted to remove specific nuisance alligators. Individuals may call the toll-free number, 1-866- FWC-GATOR (392-4286) to submit complaints regarding nuisance alligators. The FWC will evaluate the complaint and determine if the alligator should be removed by a licensed nuisance alligator trapper.
