Florida has many animal problems, from both wild mammals and reptiles, as well as domestic animals like cats and dogs. Conflicts between people and animals is inevitable. The county animal control and services in the state of Florida were originally created to stop animal problems and slow the spread of the deadly rabies virus. Thus, at first many government sponsored animal service programs would in fact help with issues arising from wild animals. However, this is no longer the case, because the problem is too large, and Seminole County doesn't have the funds. This is pretty much standard nationwide. Wildlife problems - such as raccoons living in the attic, rats crawling through the house, squirrels in the ceiling, armadillos digging under the porch, snakes in the grass, or bats in the belfry, the county will not help you. The county will remove dead animals in public areas or on the road, but not on private property, and certainly not within a house. In fact, if ANY animal, cat or dog included, is living in an attic or under a house, which does happen every now and then, the county will not provide assistance, because of the liability and risk in entering dangerous areas. If you want nuisance stray and feral cats trapped and removed from an attic, under a house, or if you just don't want so many of them on your property (such as near hotel dumpsters) you must hire a private animal trapping company.
