Florida is full of animals - both wild and domestic. Oftentimes, conflicts arise between people and animals. The county animal services in Florida were originally devised to
help with animal problems and stop the spread of the rabies virus. The county would, at one time, help with wild animal problems, in an attempt to control rabies. As time went
by, the demands placed upon the animal services were too great, and they no longer had the resources to deal with wild animal problems. In certain rare cases, the county will
assist with dangerous or suspicious wildlife that may pose a rabies threat. However, for the vast majority of wildlife problems - problems such as raccoons in the attic, rats
in the house, squirrels in the soffit, armadillos digging under the house, snakes in the yard, or bats in the attic, the county will not provide assistance. In fact, if any animal
is living in an attic or under a house, including cats, which do this from time to time, the county will not provide assistance. If you want nuisance cats trapped and removed from
an attic, under a house, or if the numbers are very high in a certain commercial area, you must hire a private trapping company. Please browse this site for more information
about the wild animals of Orange County, Florida.
Orange County Florida contains the city of Orlando. There is no free Orlando Animal Services Division. There is no Orlando animal control division at all. It is run by the
government. The same goes for Winter Park Animal Control, Maitland, or Conway. If you need assistance with dog or cat issues, call the government sponsored services. This also
includes Ocoee and Winter Garden and the Doctor Phillips area as well as Pine Hills. If you have an alligator problem or a black bear problem, you should just leave these
animals alone. If you must call someone about these two animals, neither a private pest control company nor the county will assist. You must call the Florida Department of
Fish & Game regarding these animals. Their number for this sector, which includes the Greater Orlando area, is 352.732.1225 Again, if you need assistance with the common wildlife
problems that occur in and around a home, hire this private wildlife pest control company, 24/7 Wildlife.
