Realistically probably the only way it would be considered humane to kill a wild Florida animal that was in your yard would be to capture it alive and euthanize it using the CO2 method. This method is pretty simple you get a bag large enough to put cage in and seal up and the smaller container in which you put vinegar and baking soda, when you mix these two they produce CO2, once the concentration of CO2 in the bag reaches over 30% the animal will pass out and then soon afterwards it will die. Using that method means of course that you first have to catch the animal alive and a lot of people really have no skills in that area and when they usually try to catch an animal they fail.



There are a heap of other methods that people use to kill Coral Springs animals that are causing them problems, most of these revolve around lethal traps, the main two types being snap traps which are the ones you mainly use to kill rats, mice and squirrels, as you can see these are all small animals and that is what the basic snap trap you buy from the hardware store is good for. The other main type of lethal trap a squeeze trap, this trap looks very similar to a cage trap but instead of a gate closing behind the animal and locking it in, in this trap two metal plates slam shut crushing the animal, these types of traps are used for bigger animals like raccoons, skunks and opossums.

There are specialized traps for killing animals like Florida gophers, these type of traps are all the spring type that either kill the animal by crushing or basically stab it to death. With some animals, like armadillos, other than attacking them with a weapon of some kind or shooting them there doesn't seem to be any other way of killing them, because they will not take the bait even if you are reckless enough to spread poison baits. Other animals like raccoons can be poisoned because they will take a bait but generally you will not get the raccoon you after and in fact are more likely to get the neighbors or your own pets.

Before you even think of killing any wild Coral Springs animal whether it is in your yard or not you would be highly advised to check with your local authorities about the legality of what you plan to do, a lot of animal species in different parts of the country are fully protected by law, whereas others may be considered pests. One last word of advice before shooting anything check with your local ordinances with regards to firearms being used where you live.
