When unwanted wild animals show up at your door, you could be looking at a dangerous situation. The problem is that too many people think they are cute, cartoon-like creatures. This leads them to feed them or otherwise encourage them into residential neighborhoods. Even when you are doing everything right, the behavior of other people in the neighborhood could put you at risk.
Skunks are one of the most obvious problems thanks to their easily recognized odor, but any animal could be trouble. Skunks, raccoons and rats can tear apart garbage bags leaving a mess behind. They carry diseases like rabies, tetanus and leptospirosis, not to mention the parasites like fleas and ticks they can leave behind. These cuddly little critters can also injure or even kill domestic animals.
People who keep chickens, ducks or rabbits can lose all of their animals in a single night. Cats and dogs are also at risk from any of these pests. Even if they do not come directly into contact with the creatures, if any waste is left behind, they can still be exposed to any illness the wild animals were carrying.
