Yes, raccoons have rabies, it is much safer to contact pest control services if you see raccoons in your attic or garage and avoid having contact with them just in case they are aggressive. If you're in Canada, you can contact The Critter Guy at thecritterguy.ca

∙ 15y agoOf course not, that is a stereo-type. There is a strain of rabies called Raccoon Rabies, and it is carried mainly by raccoons. It was first noted in the 1940's. There has never been a case of Raccoon Rabies contracted by a human, however you do have to be on the watch. If a raccoon has rabies its behavior will often change. If you are worried then learn about their normal behavior so that you can learn how to identify a rabies case.
