DO NOT FEED Wildlife - When people feed wildlife, the animals lose their fear of people and will approach them seeking food. If they are then not fed, they may become aggressive, even biting or scratching. Feeding wildlife can potentially bring more wild animals into an area than would otherwise be there, causing a spread of parasites and disease. Raccoons are almost always flea infested and may be harboring the scabies mite, which is responsible for causing Sarcoptic Mange in wildlife and dogs.

Trash Cans & Wildlife - Raccoons and opossums are very clever animals. These wild animals will find ways to get to garbage for food even when you think you've secured the garbage can lid. If your trash can does not have a locking lid, secure it with rope, chain, bungee cords, or weights. It is also advised to secure the garbage cans to prevent raccoons from tipping them over. Ideally, you should keep your trash cans in an outdoor storage shed. Don't store trash cans in a garage that is attached to your home. Storing garbage cans in an attached garage could result in a rodent control problem (mice or rats). On garbage pick-up day, wait until morning to put the trash cans out, as raccoons are nocturnal, so are most active at night.

Do Not Leave Pet Food Outdoors - Always feed domestic animals indoors. If you feed outdoor cats, it is best to feed them in late morning or early afternoon, then always pick up food, water bowls, leftovers, and spilled food each day before dusk. Leaving food out over night, will attract wildlife and very often lead to a conflict between raccoons and the cats that you are feeding.

Keep Pets Indoors - Whenever possible, keep cats and dogs indoors at night. If this is not possible, ensure that they are in a secure area that wildlife cannot penetrate. Raccoons and opossums will bite dogs and cats if they feel threatened by them. A bite from a rabid raccoon could infect your pet with rabies.

Keep Pet Doors Secure From Wildlife - To prevent a raccoon from entering your Nassau County, Long Island home through a pet door, never place the pet's food or water near the inside of the door. Pet doors should always be locked at night. If this is not possible, there are options for electronic doors that are activated by a collar that is worn by your cat or dog.

Keep Compost Secure - If composting, do not create a compost pile, rather, it should be put in a secure, wildlife-proof compost container or kept in a closed structure. This not only keeps the wildlife from feeding, it also keeps the compost free of feces.

Eliminate Access To Harborage - Wildlife such as raccoons and squirrels, will climb into chimneys and enter attics, crawl spaces, and areas beneath homes, decks, porches, and sheds. Therefore, it is very important to have a chimney cap and to eliminate access points to wildlife. However, you don't want to seal anything up if you think that there is any chance that wildlife could be living there. It is strongly recommended that you have a wildlife inspection done by a licensed nuisance wildlife control operator prior to closing up these areas.

Keep Wildlife Out Of The House - To keep raccoons and other wildlife from getting onto the roof of your Nassau County, Long Island home, keep all tree branches, bushes and shrubs trimmed away from your residence. Raccoons and other wildlife, such as squirrels, opossums, rats and mice can also climb decorative ivies, so these should be removed from the home exterior.

Raccoon Removal From The USS Intrepid

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. A raccoon trapped on Long Island is the first confirmed case of rabies in Nassau County since 2007.

The raccoon was collected earlier this week by a Nassau County Animal Control wildlife trapper in Hicksville, Long Island and was sent to the New York State Health Department for testing.

A Nassau County, Long Island health spokesperson told authorities they were surprised by the finding and will step up monitoring and testing in the Nassau County, Long Island area. Nassau County and New York State health officials are discussing what additional steps to take in response to the finding.

Rabies is transmitted by the bite of a rabid raccoon or when the saliva of a rabid animal comes into contact with cut, open, or scratched skin lesions, officials said.

Wildlife Control Experts are urging Nassau County residents to take the following precautions:

Keep dogs on a leash and keep pets confined in the evenings.

Verify that your pets have current rabies vaccinations.

Do not touch or have contact with any animal other than your own.

Do not touch dying or dead animals. If you must move them, use a shovel, wear heavy rubber gloves and double bag the carcass.

Advise your family against approaching any unknown animal wild or domestic especially those acting in an unusual way.

Instruct your children to tell you immediately if they were bitten or scratched by any animal.

Notify the Health Department if a bat is found in a room where adults or children were sleeping, or if an adult enters a room and finds a bat with a child.

Do not feed unknown animals and discourage them from seeking food near your home.

Keep garbage cans tightly covered and avoid storing any food outside.
