Have You Seen Raccoons, Skunks And Coyotes In Dublin? Don’t Worry
By Sarah Sole | THISWEEKNEWS.COM | Posted February 10, 2019

Have you spotted a raccoon in a tree or scurrying around during the day? If so, you aren’t the only one. The Dublin Police Department has received a few calls recently from residents who have reported seeing them. All is well, according to Barbara Ray, Dublin’s nature-education coordinator, as long as that raccoon seems to be doing something, such as resting, eating or traveling. However, if the animal is loitering, moving funny or confused, Ray said, it might be sick or injured, and residents should call the Dublin Police Department’s non-emergency number, 614-889-1112.

How To Get Raccoons Out Of Your Chimney

Raccoons live in chimneys as well as attics. It is a piece of cake for a raccoon to climb down the chimney flue. In the spring and summer months, many Columbus, Ohio homeowners discover that they have one or more raccoons trapped or living in their chimney.

If a mother raccoon sees an uncapped fireplace chimney or furnace venting chimney, she envisions the perfect nursery. Horizontal “smoke shelves” in fireplace chimneys are a safe sheltered place to give birth, nestle with her kits and raise her young until they are old enough.

To learn how to get raccoons out of your chimney, watch this video. After the raccoon has been removed, the nesting debris should be removed and a chimney cap should be installed. To find out how much it costs to remove raccoons from a chimney in Columbus, Ohio call 614-300-2763.

How to Evict Your Raccoon Roommates | National Geographic
Posted On YouTube On April 29, 2016 By National Geographic [NationalGeographic.com]

See how researchers humanely remove raccoons from house attics and crawl spaces. Wild raccoons are adaptable creatures that find cities to be rich in food and shelter. They move into homes and other buildings, which often leads to conflict with their human neighbors. With the help of high-tech cameras, National Geographic grantee John Hadidian is studying raccoon behavior in order to develop ways to evict raccoons from human dwellings while enabling them to survive in the urban habitat.

To remove unwanted bats from a building in Ohio, you must place an exclusion device over their main entrance and seal all other holes. Exclusion devices allow bats to safely exit the house but keeps them from getting back inside. After leaving the device up for several days and ensuring all bats are gone, the device can be removed and the last exit sealed.

All bats in Ohio are declining and protected in some form or another and cannot be intentionally harmed. Therefore, you should not kill the bats in your attic as it is illegal in Ohio.

However, they should be removed due to potential health concerns for humans. Feces from bats and birds can hold a lung infection disease known as histoplasmosis. For this reason, it is advised that after excluding the bats, the attic is thoroughly cleaned with proper protective gear. For more information about histoplasmosis, you can visit the Center for Disease Control website.

Ohio is home to the endangered Copperbelly Water Snake and the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake. Both snakes are under Federal and State protections. Except for endangered snakes, Ohio doesn’t regulate the killing of snakes. Ohio is also home to Timber Rattlesnakes and Eastern Copperheads.

If you encounter a venomous snake in your yard, take it seriously. The snake should be removed to ensure that no one, including pets, gets hurt. Note: This does not mean the snake has to be killed. In many places, you can call animal- control or local police or fire departments to remove the snake.
