Rise in Sightings of Raccoons! PD, Infectious Dis.! I did this to Stop!

Raccoons are cute and beautiful! But a variety of raccoon problems can occur!!!
1) Health and Safety Risks - Rabies and Canine Distemper diseases are common! Infected raccoons cannot be distinguished from healthy ones! Rabies is transmitted through saliva often through a bite! Feces are infected with Salmonella, Leptospirosis and roundworm known as Baylisascaris. If infested, symptoms - Nausea, blindness, loss of muscle control and even death!
2) Property Damage - Substantial damage both in gaining access to homes and businesses to a potential den site! Especially Attic and crawlspace! Ripping and tearing - Very manipulative and strong paws! Damage gardens, raid garbage cans and inhabit our house!
Prevention - Secure trash Cans, Remove potential food sources, Seal entry points, keep your yard clean, Apply scent repellents around the house and most important of all - Do Not Feed them!
