Last night my dog started barking at something outside. Usually, if I tell him to be quiet, he'll stop barking and come back on my bed. But this time he would not. So I got up to look out the window, and I saw an entire family of raccoons using my pool to wash their hands and faces! I've never seen raccoons in my neighborhood. We've had opossums over the years and even a skunk every now and then, but never raccoons. Should I be worried about them being in my yard? Do they carry any diseases that my dog can get if he goes out there now? Should I call someone to trap them? I live in Floral City so I'm not near open space or wildlife areas.

Like many wild animals in Citrus County, the raccoons you spotted are completely urbanized. This means that they have probably never lived in what we would consider a “wildlife area.” They have adapted to living among people where food and water sources are plentiful, as are spots that are safe and secure for sleeping during the day.

Often, raccoons use storm drains, especially during times of drought, to make temporary homes or sleeping quarters. It is not uncommon to spot a family of raccoons crawling out of the curbside openings that lead in and out of municipal drain systems. This, of course, is potentially very dangerous because when the rains finally do come, the raccoons have very little warning before rushing water comes through. However, most raccoons seem to manage and get to higher ground before it's too late.

Some raccoons live in attics or crawl spaces of homes. This isn't ideal because they do tend to cause a lot of damage. So it is important to make sure that any openings leading into your crawl spaces and attic are securely sealed so that no wild animal can make your home its home.

Besides the physical property damage raccoons can cause, they really pose no measurable health risks, especially if you keep your dog in at night, which is when raccoons are out and about.

Raccoons, like most mammals, are potential rabies carriers. However, if you observe a raccoon doing normal raccoon activities, the chances of its carrying rabies are almost non-existent. Only if you see a raccoon during the daytime, acting erratically, should you worry. But nothing you described in the raccoon activity that you saw sends out any red flags. So I wouldn't worry about that.

Nevertheless, always make sure your pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations and continue to keep them indoors at night when wildlife tends to be active. Any wild animal will protect itself if confronted, and it sounds as if your dog would be likely to engage these animals if he were allowed out. I would strongly advise taking your dog outside on a leash if he needs to relieve himself at night to avoid any unpredictable confrontations. You should also go out alone first and make some commotion to scare off any visitors before you take you dog out. Raccoons will run away if you don't corner them. They are not interested in attacking humans.

If you don't want the raccoons coming by your home, I would suggest covering your pool so they don't have access to the water, which is most likely why they visited your home. Further, harvest any fruit on trees in your yard and keep your trash cans covered. Don't leave pet food or water dishes outside, either. By eliminating food and water sources, you are taking away your yard's attractiveness, and the raccoon family will decide there isn't anything worth sticking around for.Wildlife and pets don't make a good combination. So take these few precautions and you should be fine.
