New York is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Port Washington wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Port Washington animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.
DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local
Nassau County Animal Control
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Nassau County animal control, and see what they have to
say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that
helps with dog and cat issues only.

Port Washington Wildlife Tip:
Important Information about Raccoon Roundworm
While raccoons are cute, cuddly animals, they are also quite dangerous. It is true that they have sharp claws and sharp teeth, and they could seriously harm you where they do scratch or bite you, but the major danger that comes from a raccoon is not from injury. Instead, it comes from the fact that these ads are the carriers of a number of diseases and parasites.
Raccoons are notorious for the pathogens they carry. Many have even been known to suffer from such things as rabies, but this is often rare. One malady that is not is what is known as "raccoon roundworm."
The Raccoon Roundworm Must Be Taken Seriously
This parasite is a dangerous one for sure. The raccoon roundworm, also known by its scientific name Baylisascaris, is a parasite that is passed to use simply by you breathing it in. This is what makes it so dangerous for you to come in contact with a raccoon's waste.
All you have to do is come into an area where dried feces of a raccoon is around. Should a breeze make airborne, those particles can be breathed in by you, giving the parasite the ability to get inside your respiratory tract.
Your pet is in danger of contracting the illness as well. Because animals are known to eat raccoons or to get them should they see it on your property, it means that the parasite would have the opportunity to get into your animal.
The Pathway to a Serious Problem
From there, the parasite travels to the intestines where it becomes mature. It grows large enough to produce its own eggs which are released through its feces into the new host. Over time, they will leave the intestines, traveling through the bloodstream where they will begin to lodge themselves in vital organs.
Once inside a vital organ, they are extremely dangerous. They have been known to set up their home in the lining of the spinal cord or the brain. This can lead to disorientation, loss of vision, paralysis, even cognitive impairment.
It is the central nervous system that is often affected most by this parasite. However, they have been known to begin feeding off the lining of the liver, heart, and other vital organs. Over time, this will most certainly lead to death.
How Do I Know I Have This Parasite?
There are some common symptoms found by those who are affected by raccoon roundworm. These include such things as fever, difficulty breathing, skin irritations, seizures, and abdominal pain. In fact, the abdominal pain is usually quite severe, and a person falling into a coma is often what occurs.
The sad part about this is that there is no known treatment for Baylisascaris. Should you contract this illness, very little can be done to try to mitigate its effects. This is why you need to take extreme caution in areas where you know that raccoons are known to live. If you see one on your property, you should take action immediately to have it removed.
