Cane Toad Poisoning & Control Services in Florida
What Are Cane Toads?
Cane toads are native to South and Central America but have spread throughout many parts of the world, including Florida. They are one of the most invasive and difficult to control species.
Cane toads are large and have the following physical features:
- Adult cane toads range from three to nine inches wide and are gray or brown. Males have a lighter yellowish tone, while females tend to have a darker tone.
- The top of their head is flat, but they have ridges around their eyes and over their nose.
- Cane toads have large triangular-shaped glands behind their eyes and above their shoulders.
Are Cane Toads In Florida Dangerous?
In addition to being rather unpleasant to look at, cane toads are dangerous. They produce a milky toxin from glands on their shoulders. Their toxin is potent enough to kill pets or native animals that lick or bite these toads. In humans, their toxins irritate the eyes and skin.
Another problem with these cane toads is that they take away native species’ feeding and breeding sites, depleting their populations.
Why Cane Toads Are Problem In Florida?
Like other predatory animals, cane toads prefer to hang out in areas that put them near their prey. Cane toads mainly feed on insects and eat small birds, small mammals, small reptiles, and other amphibians. If your yard provides shelter for many insects and small animals, your yard will become a place the cane toads want to call home.

Where Will I Find Cane Toads?
In South Florida, cane toads are everywhere; urban, suburban, and rural areas can all become overrun by these pests.
Cane toads like to live near bodies of water and buildings. Yards, golf courses, and athletic fields with or near bodies of water are examples of places that regularly attract the attention of cane toads.
Typical hangouts in Florida yards include:
- Overgrown grass
- Vegetation around pools
- Dense shrubbery
- Brush piles
- Yard debris
In our yards, cane toads rest during the day in areas that provide them with shade from the hot sun. The less attractive your yard is to cane toads, the better for you, your family, and your pets.
How Can I Prevent Cane Toads In The Future?
The following prevention tips will help make your property less attractive to these dangerous amphibians.
- If you have a fence around your property, reinforce its bottom with a fine mesh made of plastic or another tough material.
- If your property isn’t currently fenced, consider adding one to the area of your yard where your kids and pets spend most of their time.
- Don’t leave pet food outside overnight.
- Keep outdoor lights off at night when not needed; they attract insects and other pests to your yard that cane toads like to eat.
- Fill in low-lying areas in your yards that will collect rainwater.
- Avoid providing these pests with resting or hiding spots by keeping your grass cut short and removing yard debris.
