California is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional South Lake Tahoe 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 South Lake Tahoe animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

County Animal ServicesDOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local El Dorado 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 El Dorado 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.

South Lake Tahoe Wildlife Tip:
What Should I Do Is an Orphaned Raccoon Baby Is in My Yard?

One evening you are doing dishes when you look outside to see a baby raccoon scurrying across your yard. You realize it is getting late outside and that a mother raccoon should be around, but you don't see one. You watch for several minutes, but the mother never appears. It doesn't take you long to realize that the raccoon is orphaned.

What a sad thought that is. This poor baby raccoon left in the world on its own. You know that it has no chance of surviving out there on its own. Another predator is going to come along quickly and devour the baby if somebody doesn't save it. Plus, if you should avoid this tragedy, where is it going to find food? The mother is in around. You have to do something. Then a whole bunch of questions start running through your head.

What Are the Benefits?

You ask yourself if there are benefits to helping this raccoon. Once again, it is likely doomed if you don't do something. Giving at least some food would help to nourish it stomach. Maybe you could just put it inside a cage or slide it into your shed. No harm in that. Plus, you will feel really good about yourself are doing this.

Does It Look Injured?

As you look out the window, you make sure that it has no signs of injury or illness. There is not any blood. It is an acting erratic. It's not looking like it's having trouble breathing. It looks safe, so why not help.

What Are the Risks?

Now it's time to get down to the most important question of all. Is there any risk to you for going out there to help this animal? The reality is that there is a great deal of risk involved.

Raccoons, even baby raccoons, carry illnesses and diseases. Should this animal scratch or bite you, you could get a serious illness. That includes rabies. That may sound crazy to you but raccoons commonly carry rabies. That can be passed to their babies, meaning they could easily harm you. Even unintentionally, if the raccoon scratched you or bit you, you could wind up with something that could kill you.

You don't even have to come in direct contact with this animal. The parasites and bacteria contained in a raccoon are often released when it goes to the bathroom. This matter becomes airborne after it dries, meaning you could breathe in a parasite or get it on your skin. That poses severe health risks to you as well.

So, What to Do?

The place to begin is by contacting your local animal control agency. They will have steps to tell you exactly what you should do. To be honest, it makes sense to rely on the opinion of professionals in this matter. They may even come out and remove the animal for you. That means you can do the right thing without putting yourself at risk. Just makes sense.
