They can be found living in caves, rocks, hollowed out trees, and in your attic!

The gestation period for raccoons is about 63 days with a litter averaging four to six young being born in April or May. About 60% of the female raccoons breed and produce litters when they are one year old while males typically do not breed until their second year. Mating season for the raccooon is at its peak in February and March. When about two months old, the young begin accompaying the mother as she hunts for food. Young raccoons remain with their mother throughout the year. Raccoons are typically active from about sunset to sunrise. Researches indicate that the average life span is about three to four years.

The intellegence of a raccoon is such that it can pick an avocado from a tree, aim, and throw it at a barking dog. They can also turn door knobs, without a lock. When they climb down a tree, he backs down, except for the last few steps, when it turns around. Swimming comes easily to the raccoon, who uses water for hunting;and, they have been known to drown dogs, who have pursued them into the water. Never approach a wild raccoon, when threatened, they can defend themselves against much larger animals. Sharp teeth, sharp claws, agility, and strength, all make the raccoon the survivor that he is. Though as many as four million are trapped or hunted each year in the United States, the raccoon population seems to be increasing.

Raccoons in the United States are known to carry infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans and animals that have contact with raccoons or their waste.

Salvia, urine, feces and bites or scratched are the most commom routes of exposure. 80% of all North American raccoons carry Roundworm. This disease is caused by a parasite. The roundworm larvae cause problems as they travel through the person's muscles and various organs, including the liver, brain, lungs, and eyes. Raccoons are the primary host of this roundworm whicn is commonly found in their small intestines. Raccoons shed millions of the microscopic roundwrom eggs in their feces. People may encounter the eggs through direct contact with raccoon droppings or by touching a contaminated area or object. If they don't wash their hands, they may later transfer the eggs to their mouths, Small children are particulary vulnerable because they tend to put their hands, and other objects into their mouths. Symptoms in people may include nausea, skin irrations, tiredness, liver enlargement, loss of coordination and muscle control, blindness, and coma. Other common diseases found in racoons are: Giardiasis, Leptospirosis, Salmomella, E Coli, and Rabies. Raccoons are one of the most common species to carry rabies.

"We're afraid that if people don't conserve, that there might not be enough water for everybody," said Aquarion spokesman Bruce Silverstone.

Tuesday went down in history as the day that Aquarion delivered its greatest amount of water in a 24-hour period to its overall service area, Silverstone said. The company delivered 140 million gallons of water that day, the most it ever has in its 153-year history. This compares with about 80 to 90 million gallons consumed on a typical day.

"We have plenty of supply ---- the reservoirs are fine," Silverstone said. "But because people are using so much water, our water tanks, which we have all over, aren't refilling at night like they're supposed to." He explained that these water tanks normally are supposed to refill to the top overnight. Because of the high consumption rates, "this wasn't happening," he said.

In addition to Westport, the problem is most acute in Ridgefield, Stamford, New Canaan, Darien and Greenwich because those communities are "downstream" from the company's major reservoirs.

"The pipes get smaller when you go in that direction, and we have tanks down there that are low," he said.

The water use is being propelled by the punishing heat wave gripping the Northeast with triple-digit temperatures and steam-bath humidity. The National Weather Service says that the hot weather will continue well into next week. There might be a bit of a break Saturday when thunderstorms are expected to erupt. But after that, the tropical weather will return.

Aquarion officials said that water pressure for firefighting remains plentiful. "Don't worry about that," Silverstone said.

For much of Tuesday night, homeowners in a section of Shelton found themselves with either dry taps or with low water pressure after a pumping station failed at about 10 p.m. That problem was fixed by about 9 a.m. Wednesday. There was also a water main break on Bridgeport's State Street Extension on the city's West End Wednesday morning.

While Aquarion stopped short of declaring an emergency, the utility did outline a number of measures for customers to take in order to prevent the problem from worsening.

They called for people with odd-numbered addresses would water their lawns and gardens on odd-numbered days, from 5 and 9 a.m. or 7 to 9 p.m. People with even number addresses would water during those time periods on even-numbered days.

Though new lawns need watering regularly, Aquarion asked customers with established lawns to defer watering for a week. Washing boats and car should be deferred for at least a week, according to spokespeople at the company.

Aquarion Water Co. serves approximately 580,000 people in 39 communities throughout Connecticut. It is among the seven largest investor-owned water utility companies in the U.S., and the largest in New England.Westport is one of the towns served by the regional utility where water usage is particular concern, officials said.

Often called Americas finest city, Westport has its share of hazards to watch out for. An out of control coyote population is one of them. I hear the heart breaking stories too often. On almost a daily basis callers explain that they lost a cat or dog to a pack of coyotes, as I have as well. Personaly, I dont agree with many animal advocates who want people to ignore the problem as if the coyotes own the land, and public safety comes secondary. Nor do I have problem with a coyote being a coyote, away from people. Its the packs in town I have a problem with.
US Animal Control is an animal damage control company committed to helping the public in urban settings. The first step is educating the public. Then maybe you can see the changes needed on your property to make the area less suitable for coyotes. If the problem is something you dont care to deal with, feel free to call 888-229-2036 to make an appointment with a trained wild life professional
A few years ago Westport was having some real issues with urban coyotes. Cats and dogs were missing or mauled, as well as several people being bitten as well. I personally took the job, and within 30 days I captured and removed 153 coyotes. One pack had 22 members, meaning strength in numbers, they could kill and eat pretty much anything they wanted to, and they did. That was a worse case project that was left out of control for too long. Furthermore, an elderly man on the block had a soft spot for them and he was feeding them in his back yard. Carrying capacity of the land was made stronger by him, so they made more little coyotes.
Back before the area had so many communities, Westport really didnt have much to offer a coyote. So they numbered fewer. But now with irrigation, sod, fruit trees, bird feeders, and pet food bowls, a coyote can get a good meal without traveling far. Let me explain how it works. The coyote will eat grain left out for birds in he has to but the rats and squirrels are of more interest to him. And the bird feeder made the rats and squirrels take interest. Now, why do coyotes kill dogs? The coyote is territorial and is trying to eliminate competition. Also, they want to be sure the young are safe from others who may harm them. Carrying a cane or stick while walking a dog can stop a coyote attack. The attack will be started and done in seconds, so be decisive, and aggressive! It doesnt take much more than a hard TAP on a coyotes snout to make him lay down, this will give you 30-40 seconds to find out how fast you can run before he wakes up. Many a dog walker in Westport has come home wishing he had a coyote stick with him. A 6 foot fence can be jumped by a coyote, or he can dig under, so burry the bottom and go 7 ft. No pet food left out over night. Pick up fallen fruit every evening with out fail. If you have cats claws removed, keep it in the house. It cant defend itself or climb to safety. Be sure the under side of your deck or home is completely closed off. Remember, you control coyote movement by controlling food supply. And having rats and skunks living under there is an invite. Encourage others to do the same! It must be concerted effort to keep the neighborhood safe. If the following tips dont resolve your issue, and it is too far out of control for you to deal with, feel free to call 888-229-2036 to have a professional coyote trapper humanely remove the animals. Re-locating coyotes is not effective, so company policy strictly enforces that ALL coyotes captured are humanely euthanised.
