Raccoons in New Port Richey
Raccoon records and rules along the Cotee River
New Port Richey sits on the Cotee River a few miles from the Gulf. These are the local records and rules behind a raccoon call here.
Two rabid raccoons in a week
In November 2015, DOH-Pasco put the New Port Richey Estates area under a 60-day rabies alert. A person had been exposed to one rabid raccoon, and a vaccinated dog to a different one, within a week.
Where that alert reached
The 2015 alert ran from the Gulf east to US 19, between Gulf Trace Boulevard on the south and Hammock and Ranch Road on the north.
One hauler, two pickups
Waste Pro, doing business as J.D. Parker & Sons, is New Port Richey's single hauler, collecting residential garbage on Mondays and Thursdays. The less time a full cart sits, the less there is for a raccoon to find.
The county handles it
The city's animal control FAQ says Pasco County handles all animal control concerns. That makes Pasco County Animal Services, at 813-929-1212, the agency for stray pets and for an unconfined, aggressive animal that threatens public safety.
A river town near the Gulf
Around abundant food, UF/IFAS says, raccoon numbers can hit 100 per square mile, with coastal and wetland habitats standing out. In New Port Richey, DEP says, the riverfront overlooks both the Pithlachascotee River and the Gulf.
Raccoon country, countywide
Seventeen of the 24 rabid animals Pasco County recorded from 2013 to 2023 were raccoons, the county says. New Port Richey residents report bites to DOH-Pasco at 352-521-1450, option 4.

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!

FAQ
Raccoon questions in New Port Richey
Does the City of New Port Richey remove raccoons?
No. New Port Richey leaves animal control to Pasco County, per its FAQ page. For a raccoon in or under your home, you'll need a private wildlife company.
Have raccoons in New Port Richey had rabies?
Yes. In 2015, two rabid raccoons in the New Port Richey Estates area led DOH-Pasco to issue a 60-day alert. Keep pets vaccinated and never try to handle a raccoon, however tame it seems.
What day is trash picked up in New Port Richey?
Mondays and Thursdays, between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., per the city. Missed pickups go to J.D. Parker & Sons at (727) 841-4260.
Can I release a trapped raccoon at the Grey Preserve?
Not without written permission from the land manager. FWC doesn't allow public parks as relocation sites otherwise, and any release has to be on your own land or 40-plus acres in Pasco with the owner's written permission.
