As suburbia stretches more and more into urban territory, it stands to reason that displaced wildlife will be a part of your daily life.  Raccoons used to be considered an animal that could only be found out in the country.  Today, more neighborhoods than not experience the pitfalls of having raccoons living among them.

Raccoons are super cute and look like sweet little furry animals.  You should always use caution when you see a raccoon.  The have very sharp claws and even sharper teeth.  They have been known to carry Rabies and Canine Distemper.  Contracting Roundworm should also be a huge concern when you have raccoons living among you.  Just this past January a teenager in New York lost sight in one eye from coming in contact with raccoon feces and contracting Roundworm.

Most states have laws about trapping and relocating wildlife.  In most instances, trapped animals must be killed instead of releasing.  It can be an almost impossible task for the average person to kill an animal humanely.   Using home remedies to get rid of these pesky creatures don’t seem to pan out.
