A raccoon walking across the attic. Fresh furrows in the fairway-view lawn. Mosquitoes cutting a lanai dinner short. When wildlife or pests show up, call Quick Catch at 904-859-6585 for pest control in Ponte Vedra, FL and humane wildlife removal. Our office answers 7 days a week, and we have been trapping and removing nuisance animals across North Florida since 2007.
Ponte Vedra is beautiful because it sits between the ocean, the marsh, and some of the most carefully landscaped ground in Florida. Animals love it for the same reasons. Quick Catch is a family-owned, locally operated company led by owner Ryan Boyd, who caught his first wild hog at age 12. We remove animals humanely, seal the openings they use, and treat the everyday pests too, so one local team handles the whole property.

Ponte Vedra Beach is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County, about 18 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville, and it lies wholly east of the Intracoastal Waterway (Wikipedia: Ponte Vedra Beach). That puts every home within a short walk of one of two very different wild edges: the Atlantic dunes on one side and the salt marsh of the Tolomato River on the other.
To the south, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve protects 76,760 acres of salt marsh, tidal creeks, oyster bars, and coastal uplands (NOAA). Raccoons, armadillos, and wild hogs live in that ground and follow the marsh edge into backyards in South Ponte Vedra and Palm Valley.
Golf shaped the rest of the map. The original nine-hole course here became the foundation of the Ponte Vedra Club, developers broke ground on the 1,100-acre Sawgrass development in 1972, and the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course has hosted The Players Championship since 1982 (Wikipedia: Ponte Vedra Beach).
Communities like Sawgrass and Marsh Landing were built around fairways, lagoons, and wooded preserves. Irrigated turf full of grubs, ponds with thick edges, and mature live oaks hanging over tile roofs give animals food, water, and a ladder to the attic, all in one yard.
Businesses face the same pressure. Restaurants, clubhouses, and shops along A1A have dumpsters and outdoor dining that draw rodents and roaches.
Small signs rarely stay small. A torn soffit screen becomes a raccoon den with a litter inside, a few rodent droppings become chewed wiring and soiled insulation, and one night of hog rooting becomes a lawn that needs new sod. Calling early usually means fewer animals, fewer entry points, and less repair. Quick Catch offers humane animal removal for a wide variety of local wildlife, and we focus on the cause, not just the animal you happened to see.
Our Jacksonville Wildlife Calendar tracks the same rhythm we see in Ponte Vedra. January brings rodents and raccoons into attics and garages for warmth. March makes raccoons and armadillos far more visible, and May is peak season for mothers with young in attics. June storms leave fresh armadillo holes in damp lawns. September storms open roofline gaps, and from October through December, cooler nights push rodents, squirrels, and raccoons indoors. Wild hogs can show up in any month, and Florida allows them to be trapped year-round on private land with the landowner’s permission (FWC).
| What You Hear | animal |
|---|---|

Raccoons are heavy. You will hear thumping, walking, or something that sounds like a person moving in the attic, usually after dark and before dawn. In spring, soft chirring or chattering from one spot often means a mother with kits, which is exactly why you should never seal the hole until you know what is inside.

Rodents are light and fast. Roof rats make quick scurrying runs along the ceiling edges at night, and you may hear light scratching or gnawing inside a wall. Fresh droppings in the garage or a chewed attic vent screen usually confirm it.

One tip: don’t seal a hole until you know what’s inside. Closing it on a mother raccoon or a bat colony traps animals in the house.
Quick Catch holds a 4.8-star rating on Google from 1,082 reviews. Barbara and Bob Nelson of Ponte Vedra Beach worked with us on a persistent raccoon problem over a full year:
“Over a one year period, Quick Catch helped us control a serious raccoon problem. They: Responded quickly to calls and had traps in place within hours … Released animals in a safe, remote location, a better place for them to be … We were entirely satisfied with the service provided and would recommend Quick Catch to anyone who needs wild animals removed from their property.”
October is when animals start testing homes before cooler nights. Our calendar flags this month for chewing at roof returns, fresh droppings in attics and garages, and light scratching in walls. In Ponte Vedra Beach, that pressure lands on roofs that just came through peak storm season, where salt air and wind can loosen soffit panels and vent covers. With bat maternity season over since mid-August, it is a smart month for an exterior entry-point check.
Quick Catch is more than a wildlife company. We also provide pest control for Ponte Vedra homes, rentals, clubs, and businesses, with treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, fleas, wasps, silverfish, centipedes, mosquitoes, earwigs, and more (About Quick Catch). We inspect first and treat the source.
Every job is priced on what the animal is doing and what your property needs. The biggest cost drivers are the species and number of animals, how many entry points need sealing, roof height and pitch (common on larger coastal homes), whether the job is trapping alone or trapping plus exclusion and repair, cleanup and sanitation of attic insulation, and whether you need an after-hours visit.
For reference, national 2026 averages, not Quick Catch prices, put typical wildlife removal at about $198 to $635, with larger projects running $300 to $1,500. Raccoon removal averages $400 to $600 (up to $750 when there is a nest), and minimum service fees commonly run $150 to $250 (HomeGuide; HomeAdvisor).
Quick Catch quotes after assessing your property. Military members and first responders receive a 10% discount, and we accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
Yes. Quick Catch traps rats and mice and then seals the openings they use, because trapping alone will not hold if the house stays open. In Ponte Vedra Beach, rodents often reach the roof through overhanging oaks and palms, so we check tree contact points, soffits, vents, and garage door seals as part of every rodent job.
Yes. With the landowner’s permission, wild hogs may be trapped year-round on private land in Florida without a hunting license or permit, though moving live hogs is regulated (FWC). Hogs return to the same feeding area, so call at the first fresh rooting. Quick Catch trapped a lawn-wrecking hog right here in Ponte Vedra in 2014.
Yes. Restaurants, clubs, retail shops, offices, and property managers call us for roaches, ants, rodents, and stinging insects, along with wildlife like raccoons in dumpster areas. We schedule around your hours and pair treatments with sealing, so pest control in Ponte Vedra Beach stays effective after we leave.
