Raccoons, rabies and garbage rules in Spring Hill
Spring Hill had a raccoon-linked rabies alert in 2026, and Hernando's garbage rules are written with scavenging animals in mind. Here are the local facts.
A raccoon, a cat, a rabies alert
In June 2026, an unvaccinated cat in Spring Hill tested positive for rabies after a raccoon attacked it near Norvell Road. DOH-Hernando issued a 60-day rabies alert for the neighborhoods around it.
The 2026 alert area
That alert covered Elgin Boulevard on the north, Spring Hill Drive on the south, Barclay Avenue on the east and U.S. 19, Commercial Way, on the west.
Two rabid raccoons in 2025
The state's 2025 table listed two rabid raccoons for Hernando County and no other rabid animals. DOH-Hernando's 2025 notices reported rabid raccoons off Ted Road near Brooksville and in the Spring Lake Highway and Neff Lake area.
Lids closed against animals
Hernando County's garbage rules say cart lids must be closed to keep animals from scavenging, and only trash inside the blue cart with the lid shut gets collected. A bag left beside the cart stays behind for raccoons.
Not out before 6 p.m.
Carts can't go to the curb before 6 p.m. the day before collection and must come back in by the end of collection day. Fewer hours at the curb means fewer nights a raccoon gets a shot at it.
Twice a week in the universal area
Homes in Spring Hill's universal, or mandatory, collection area pay a county assessment that covers garbage pickup twice a week, along with weekly recycling and yard waste.
Feeding them is illegal
UF/IFAS Extension Hernando County says it is illegal to feed raccoons on purpose and that a fed raccoon loses its fear and can become a nuisance. Raccoons may raid trash cans, den under homes and kill chickens that aren't protected.

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 Spring Hill
Was there a rabies alert in Spring Hill?
Yes. DOH-Hernando issued a 60-day alert on June 12, 2026, after a cat attacked by a raccoon near Norvell Road tested positive for rabies. DOH-Hernando issued another 60-day alert on July 1, 2026, for a rabid cat off Westwood Drive. Keep pets vaccinated, and don't handle any raccoon.
I saw a raccoon in daylight in Spring Hill. Is it rabid?
Not necessarily. UF/IFAS Extension Hernando says raccoons are nocturnal but do forage by day, and advises keeping your distance rather than assuming the worst. DOH-Hernando's advice holds either way: avoid physical contact with wild animals.
Which Hernando trash rules help keep raccoons away in Spring Hill?
Follow the county's own rules: lid closed, everything inside the blue cart, and the cart out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before pickup. Feed pets indoors too, since DOH-Hernando warns against attracting wildlife with outdoor pet food.
Can I put a dead raccoon in my Hernando County trash cart?
No. Hernando County lists dead animals among the items that don't go in the cart. Call Hernando County Solid Waste at (352) 754-4112 for how to dispose of one.
