When an alligator found its way in front of a house near a pond, the homeowner found a way to relocate the large reptile. We don't recommend you try this at home.

We’ve seen plenty of news reports about alligators “visiting” people’s homes. Most of the time the gator gets bored and goes away or a trapper is called to remove the reptile.When an alligator appeared in front of Abdul Gene Malik’s Florida home, this Army veteran had to think quickly to protect his family. Using what he had nearby, this Florida Man used a garbage can to try an trap the alligator.

He approached the alligator head-on with the trash can and used the lid to hit the reptile on the head which made it lunge into the container. Malik righted the can and rolled the gator to the nearby lake where he released it. Check out the entire video:

Just another Florida Man doing his thing to keep his family safe!
