No one really knows the origin of the name "Miami". One possibility is that it comes from a Native word for "sweet water". The area was a concentration of water because of the Miami River which drains the Everglades to the Atlantic. Another theory is that the name comes from Lake Mayaimi (Lake Okeechobee) which means "big water." Others theorize that the name came from the Tequesta native word for giant rat, Mimi.

Miami-Dade County Wildlife Removal Tip:

How To Remove Rodent Feces In Crawl Space - Since rodents are rodents, their teeth give them the ability and necessity to chew through a wide range of material. By building a nest inside your home, this often means that they will cause structural damage to your home. One common problem is rodent feces in the crawl space of your home. Fecal waste means that there will be damage to insulation, especially in the attic. Once a rodent gets in, it will cause damage to the insulation by infecting the area with its fecal matter and urine, as well as leave behind parasites and fur.

A rodent only needs to chew through a small area of space to enter your home. Also, a rodent is constantly leaving your home to retrieve food. This means that as it comes back through the hole, it can leave fecal matter in the small crawl space. If you don't get rid of the feces, it will stay there and continue to pose a health risk and the insulation will deteriorate. Even if the rodent leaves, the odor left behind will attract more rodents to the same place and exacerbate the problem. While you can remove fecal matter yourself, it might be better to hire professionals to remove feces that are not immediately visible. Feces can be trapped in the small crawl spaces, and you might need new insulation applied.

Miami-Dade County, FL Animal Control News Clip:

Animal Services - New canine mystery disease is not a cause for panic

When I saw the story recently on a local news program, I was concerned. Before the broadcast, I had only heard rumblings regarding a new canine mystery disease. For more information, call the animal services of Miami, Florida.

Just like the deer tick and Lyme disease scare a few years ago, I could foresee a panic among dog fanciers - people across the country demanding the vaccination and imagined cases of it springing up everywhere. Miami-Dade County animal control says it will continue to help with domestic animal issues, but not with Florida wildlife problems.

We finally learned that it was not nearly so widespread. In fact, I am aware of only one case locally this summer, and I suspect the owners, who left their dogs here at home while traveling up north, probably brought the little varmints back and passed them on to the dogs. Animal and carcass removal services in Miami-Dade County is dedicated to helping Florida and Miami.

The new virus is not really as new as the media would have us believe. Of course, the report I saw on television made it out to be brand new and threatening every dog in our state! Truth be told, regrettably, the new virus has been making its rounds among the racing dog businesses.

Remember, for a dog/cat problem, call (305) 884-1101, and if you need wildlife removal service in Miami-Dade County, call Wildlife Removal Miami: 786-257-0335.
