BEWARE OF CRITTERS!

There has been an uptick in reported critter activity within Lake Park Estates, including raccoons, rats, possums, etc. Raccoons have been observed using pools as their personal bathrooms.

STEPS TO REDUCE YOUR RISKS

• Do not overfill your garbage bin and keep lids securely shut. Consider the use of a bungee cord to keep the lid tight or put a weight on the lid.

  
  

• Remember to put your bins out for trash collection on your scheduled pickup day.

• Consider keeping bins behind a fence or in your garage if you have extra space.

  
  

• Double bag trash that might be particularly pungent.

  
  

• Periodically rinse out and clean your garbage bins.

  
  

• Treat your bins and the surrounding area with repellents specifically designed for such critters.

  
  

• Keep yards clean and well trimmed to limit habitats for the critters and do not leave food out.
