Raccoons

Raccoons make pests of themselves by getting into garbage cans, eating pet food, raiding gardens, and getting into attics and chimneys. They're also a major carrier of rabies in Florida. But there are humane ways of living with them and preventing them from damaging your home or bringing harm to your family.
