Description

Raccoons are ravaging my garden almost every night, tearing up the lawn, uprooting plants, and digging holes. I am also concerned about the health hazards poses by these disease vectors, including rabies and two diseases spread through their feces and urine baylisascaris, and leptospirosis.
Since raccoons have territories many acres in size, I assume that I am not the only citizen affected. This is not a problem that an individual resident of a dense area such as central New Haven can solve on his own. I hope the City Government will remove these pests from our residential areas.
