Is there any group in The Villages that has the responsibility for wildlife removal we could contact?

Beware. they seem cute. They can be vicious particularly when they have babies with them.
I remember having them attacking our garbage cans. I called the ASPCA spoke to a nice lady. She told me they have a plan for a racoon proof holder. She then told me the racoons must have also requested a copy of the plan and they have learned to defeat it.
You can purchase repellants. Mothballs seem to work. Since we moved to the villages my wife is a better cook. Strange the racoons, these southern racoons, do not like her chicken as much as the northern ones did.
