Rabies
control and prevention also means handling wildlife with the respect they
deserve. Avoid exposures by keeping your
distance and calling upon professionals when assistance with wildlife is
needed. Pictured here is professional
wildlife trapper David Seeveld co-owner of AAAnimal Control in the USA. David is successfully removing and relocating
a juvenile raccoon from an attic. It’s
extremely important for the wildlife trapper to search the entire area for
young wildlife along with the adults.
“If there’s an adult raccoon in the attic, there’s about an 85% chance
that it’s a mother with young” David states.
And as for the bats: trust only a professional as an amateur will most
likely trap them in! Once this occurs;
“…bats will likely crawl down the wall of the home and often find their way
into your living quarters”; David states!
We applaud David and the effort of his team on safe wildlife removal and
educating the public. To learn more
