Raccoons, snakes and squirrels in Orlando
Health department alerts, a utility's own notice and the county's rules show what these animals do here.
Three rabid raccoons in east Orange
DOH-Orange issued a 60-day rabies alert in October 2023 after three raccoons tested positive in three months in east Orange County, north of Colonial Drive and south of University Boulevard. One exposed a dog, which died, Spectrum News 13 reported.
Belle Isle and Conway, 2023
Weeks earlier, a rabid dog led to an alert for the Belle Isle and Conway area. DOH-Orange told residents to keep outside garbage in covered containers so it doesn't draw wild animals.
A snake on an underground cable
OUC said in July 2025 that one of four power interruptions in Baldwin Park that summer was caused by a snake touching an underground cable. It began fitting the neighborhood's switchgear with mesh to keep wildlife out.
A venomous bite in Hunters Creek
In May 2020, Orange County Fire Rescue took a boy bitten by a venomous snake in the Hunters Creek area to a children's hospital, WKMG reported. A snake inside the house is a call to make right away.
Squirrels: gray, yes; fox, no
FWC's squirrel guide says eastern gray squirrels can be taken as nuisance wildlife when they damage a building, but fox squirrels can't. Squirrel removal in an Orlando attic starts with knowing which one it is.

Brandon came out of his way to help remove a raccoon who had decided to use my front door mat for nap. Brandon was very polite and professional. He removed Ralph without issue and pretty quickly.

There's a first time for everything! Somehow a snake made it's way into our office building and chose my office to hang out. I called Pro Wildlife on Sunday and explained it to the tech. They arranged the appointment to come and remove it for today @ 9am. The tech Zak Brooks arrived and got the snake out very quickly! He was friendly and professional!! Definitely recommend and we'd use them again if needed! Thank you again!

Josh came out & removed a dead cat from my engine that had been there for over six months! Absolutely no one else would do the job and other places said they couldn’t even find the animal. Josh found it and removed it with ease. I can’t thank him enough!
