Many of Vermont's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Vermont's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

Middlebury Wildlife Removal Tip:

Does Every Raccoon Have Rabies?

Rabies is a zoonotic virus that affects the central nervous system of most warm-blooded animals, like raccoons. However, not all raccoons will be infected. Transmission may occur when the saliva of the infected mammal has directly contacted the skin opening. It may also happen if the infected saliva has been introduced through a skin break or the mucous membrane. Once it enters the body, the virus will immediately multiply along the infected area. If the victim did not receive a proper medical intervention, the virus will attack the nerve cell and will eventually travel through the nerve found in our brain.

Is It Common for Raccoons to Have Rabies?

Rabies is a disease that has been recorded since ancient times. However, with the efforts of the proper authorities, case among humans is relatively rare. It is almost a forgotten disease in the US. However, in other countries, it can be quite difficult to assess the yearly death related to rabies. When you look at the global stats, dogs are the likely culprit of rabies transmission, which results in almost 99% death, followed by bats. In the US, the raccoons are the likely suspects. Nonetheless, only one incident of death has been attributed to raccoon rabies. Perhaps this is since the infected raccoon will only survive for about 1-3 days after they have been infected. Even on the off chance that you have been bitten by a rabid raccoon, treatment is always accessible, which decreases the mortality rate.

Will An Infected Raccoon Always Act Rabid?

When people think of a raccoon infected with the rabies virus, they will often picture an image of a rabid animal; foaming in the mouth and acting aggressively. Nonetheless, the most common sign of this virus would be paralysis and distinct changes in the animal's behavior. For instance, the active raccoon may act sleepy and staggering. Some of them may appear withdrawn and shy. Also, raccoons that are usually nocturnal may appear active during the day. There is a range of symptoms that an infected animal may manifest such as swallowing difficulty, choking, hypersensitivities, seizures, eating strange food, and non-eating.

How Can I Protect Myself from an Infected Raccoon?

There are different things that you can do to avoid being bitten by an infected raccoon and prevent exposing yourself to the rabies virus. For instance, avoid approaching raccoons, whether you think they are rabid or not. They are wild creatures, they may still be infected with other zoonotic illnesses besides rabies. If you have been bitten by a raccoon, report it to the proper official and receive immediate medical attention. Never feed any wildlife creatures. If you have kids, teach them how to behave properly when in the presence of a raccoon.

Most raccoons will be docile and will try to stay away from humans. Nevertheless, it would be best to treat all raccoons as a possible carrier of the rabies virus to prevent transmission. Rabies is a lethal disease but with the right knowledge and carefulness, you will be able to keep yourself and the family safe from this threat.
