Opossum Removal

Signs of an Opossum Problem

• Scratching or shuffling noises at night

• Opossums living under decks, porches, sheds, or crawlspaces

• Disturbed insulation or nesting materials

• Foul odors from droppings or a deceased animal

• Tracks or droppings around your property

• Pet food disappearing overnight

Why Opossums Choose Your Property

Opossums look for dark, quiet places that provide shelter from predators and the weather. Crawlspaces, decks, porches, sheds, and garages offer the perfect place to rest, especially during colder months or when a mother is raising her young.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are opossums dangerous?
Opossums are generally non-aggressive and prefer to avoid people, but they may hiss or bare their teeth if they feel threatened.

Can an opossum damage my home?
Yes. Opossums can tear insulation, create nesting areas, leave droppings, and damage crawlspaces or areas beneath decks and sheds.

What if there are baby opossums?
If babies are present, we use humane methods and make every effort to keep the family together whenever possible.

How do I keep opossums from coming back?
Removing attractants and professionally sealing entry points are the best ways to prevent future problems.
