Over the past 20 years, there has been a significant reduction in human and pet exposures to the rabies virus throughout Allegheny County. This is largely due to the efforts of the rabies vaccination program for wld raccoons, spearheaded by the US Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services (USDA), in partnership with the ALlegheny County Health Department (ACHD). This year, employees and volunteers from both organizations will be distributing vaccine-containing baits.

Cooperating Federal, State, and county agencies are conducting an oral raccoon rabies baiting project in western Pennsylvania. A vaccine packet is coated in fishmeal or vanilla which is very tasty to raccoons. The baits are dropped from low-flying airplanes or helicopters, or by local teams on foot or in vehicles. The vaccine can NOT cause rabies.

What if I find rabities baits?

• Baits should be left alone - but intact baits can be moved if they are found where children and pets play. Damaged baits should be bagged and disposed in the trash.
• Where gloves or use a plastic bag when picking up the baits.
• Toss intact baits into a fencerow, woodlot, ditch, or other raccoon habitat areas.
• Wash your hands after any skin contact with a bait.

What if my pet eats a bait?

• A few baits are not harmful, although eating a lot may cause vomiting or diarrhea.
• Do not risk getting bitten by taking a bait away from your pet.
• Confine your pet for a couple of days and check the area for more baits.
• If your pet eats a bait, avoid your pet's saliva for 24 hours, and wash skin or wounds that may have been licked.

For information concerning accidental contact with baits, call 1-888-461-0223.
