Wildlife Pests in Port St. Lucie
Port St. Lucie, FL, is home to various pests that have adapted to urban neighborhoods.
Raccoons and Opossums
Opossums often roam streets and backyards in search of food. These animals ransack trash bins, eat pet food, and destroy gardens. An opossum will also den under porches, sheds, and other outbuildings.
Like opossums, raccoons invade yards at night and knock over garbage cans for a meal. However, these animals are far more dangerous because they are rabies carriers. Raccoon droppings also contain roundworms, which can infect both pets and people.
Problems with Predators
Having raccoons and opossums in Port St. Lucie can also cause issues with predators. These small animals attract coyotes and bobcats, which can be dangerous. Similar in looks to a large dog, a coyote is a scavenger that feeds on anything from carrion and rodents to pets. These pests also carry a number of diseases, including rabies.
Though not as common, bobcats sometimes visit Florida neighborhoods. These big cats are stealthy and usually shy away from humans. Nevertheless, small dogs, cats, and chickens all make easy meals for a hungry bobcat.
