In
most of the United States, it is against the law for you to own any wild animals or non-human primates (monkeys) without a
permit. However, people sometimes come into contact with these animals. Like other animals, wild animals and primates can
get diseases. Some of these diseases, called zoonoses (See Below), can
cause illness in people. Since wild animals (including monkeys, raccoons, and skunks) can carry diseases that are dangerous
to people, ODNR discourages direct contact with wildlife. PLEASE CONTACT a Wildlife Professional Trapper, such as ourselves,
for Removal and IF Requried, Sanitization of Area affected.

Zoonotic Diseases: Zoonotic
diseases are diseases that are transferred from animals to people. While common sense can often prevent transmission of many
diseaes, others, such as those transferred through contamination from animal waste, are harder to avoid. You can click on
the chart below or on the animal to find various diseases of nuisance wildlife species. If the wildlife was residing in your
attic, please have them safely and properly removed, exclusion to the area preformed, and the area inspected by a firm like
ourselves for any contamination. If required, the area might have to be santizied and restored to remove any danger of bacteria
forming.
