Animal Control
June 3, 2019
A woman in our county was bitten by a feral cat that she had been feeding. After several days of observation the cat died and was later confirmed to have rabies. There are three other cats that were part of the same litter, hung around with the rabid cat, and were fed by the same woman. Our animal control officer will only attempt to capture dogs. The DEC says that they cannot help us to capture the animals because they do not capture cats. We found a “Critter Control” business that initially agreed to capture the cats so that we could take them to be euthanized. They backed out because cats are not included in their license. How do other counties handle this?

Partial Service LHD Pesticide Approval
May 9, 2019
I have a daycare with OCFS regulations stating the local health department must approve any pesticides they will spray on their property. They have a bad tick problem around their playground. Being a partial service county, I referred her to my district office who handles our environmental services. They said they do not deal with this. Has anyone else ran into this issue and how have you handled it?
