Common problems here
River and swamp
East Pasco is wilder than the coast. The Withlacoochee River and the Green Swamp are both a short drive from downtown.
Green Swamp
FWC's Great Florida Birding Trail says the 560,000-acre Green Swamp spans four counties, and that its 36,649-acre West Tract has a Dade City address.
Withlacoochee River Park
Pasco County describes this wilderness park as 406 acres on Withlacoochee Boulevard. The Birding Trail lists sandhill cranes, swallow-tailed kites, limpkins, and barred and great horned owls.
Rabies alerts nearby
In February 2026, DOH-Pasco issued a rabies alert for the Zephyrhills area after a rabid raccoon was found there. In July, it advised of two more rabid raccoons in east Pasco.
Overgrown lots
Dade City code enforcement handles complaints about excessive trash or debris. If an overgrown lot isn't cleaned up, the city says it will do the work and place a lien on the property.
Rats in Dade City
Dade City's rules that help with rats
Dade City's garbage page and code enforcement office both bear on rats, even where they don't name them. See rat removal across Pasco County.
Animal-proof containers
Dade City asks residents to make sure their garbage container is animal proof, with a tight-fitting lid. Containers should be 35 gallons or less and under 50 pounds.
Yard waste sized right
Limbs and branches must be under 4 feet long and 6 inches thick for pickup. Brush that's too big to collect tends to sit, and rats move in.
Trash and debris complaints
Dade City code enforcement handles complaints about excessive trash or debris, junk cars and other nuisances inside city limits.
Barns and feed
On larger east Pasco lots, feed rooms and barns draw rats as surely as kitchens do. Store feed in metal bins with tight lids and keep stored hay off the ground.

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!
