Concern over rabies testing sparks 'unusual' appeal to customers of wildlife removal company

Minnesota’s Department of Health has asked recent customers of ASAP Wildlife Services to provide information after questions surfaced about the company’s rabies testing practices. Officials are contacting anyone who used the wildlife removal service in recent months to gather data for the investigation. The department’s outreach aims to clarify the scope of any potential testing errors. The story has drawn attention to testing protocols, with the Star Tribune describing the firm as “under fire” and FOX 9 Minneapolis‑St.

Valley News Live reported the health department’s information request, while Minnesota Media noted the unusual appeal to the company’s clientele. Coverage underscores the public‑health dimension of a wildlife‑service operation that may affect community safety. Public concern has risen as residents seek assurance about wildlife handling safety. Officials have cautioned that test accuracy remains under review and have not confirmed any rabies exposure among customers.

The ongoing investigation suggests that future communications may address whether corrective actions or broader public advisories will be issued. Authorities will monitor the situation closely as more information becomes available.
