Raccoon Latrines and Parasites
The owners of this Brampton home reached out to Raccoon Control when they found a pile of feces on their backyard fence. Raccoons tend to defecate in the same locations, over and over, creating what are called “latrines.” Fences, roofs, and other areas above ground are preferred. Unsure of what to do with it, the homeowners thought they’d get a professional to help. A member of the Raccoon Control team went out to investigate the issue and remove the feces.
Raccoon feces are dangerous because they can contain roundworm, a potentially fatal parasite that targets the intestines. Raccoons pass roundworm eggs in their feces, which then make their way into the soil. Eggs can also become airborne when the feces have dried up, so it is best to stay away. Humans, cats, dogs, and many other animals can get sick with roundworm. Raccoon feces may also contain a host of bacteria and viruses, so they must be cleaned up as soon as possible.

In this case, the raccoon latrine was small and sitting right on top of a fence.
