Hello,
We found a Racoon lattrine on our roof when we hired our gardener to Trim a tree growing over our roof and a whisteria that Was vining on the roof.
Our Gardner trimmed the tree and vine then used his blower to blow the feces off the roof with the tree and vine trimmings and spreading the feces around are back yard. We were disgusted. We have been cleaning dried up feces for two weeks and dusting off and exposing all our garden furniture to UV light and using a steamer to clean. We live in Santa Clarita and we have had a week with temperatures in the low 100’s. We think the feces may have already been dried and maybe heated to the 142 due to the dark brown roof and arid condition.
We took our dog and cat to be tested for worms (came bck negative) and dewormed them both. Should we deworm again? Just found more feces on the grass after garner cut the grass two weeks later.
We have visiting grandchildren weekly and we have not let them in the back yard.
Any more suggestions to mitigate?
Should we remove the local,squirrels? We haven’t seen a Racoon since March.
Help!
Rose
