Signs You May Have Opossums On Your Property

You may need professional opossum removal if you notice:

  • Noises or scratching under the house, deck, or shed at night

  • Pet food or bird feeders being raided after dark

  • Droppings or strong odors in crawl spaces or near foundation vents

  • Damage to ductwork, insulation, or vapor barriers in the crawl space

  • A visible opossum frequently wandering near your home or trash cans

If you are not sure what animal you are hearing, our wildlife technician will inspect the property, identify the species, and show you where they are getting in.

Why Opossums Need Professional Removal

Opossums are generally shy, but they can:

  • Tear insulation and plastic sheeting in crawl spaces

  • Contaminate areas with urine and droppings

  • Startle pets or family members when cornered

  • Increase the risk of fleas, ticks, and other parasites around your home

Trying to trap or handle opossums on your own can lead to injury to you or the animal. Professional removal keeps everyone safe and ensures the problem is fully resolved.

Our Humane Opossum Removal Process

We focus on humane, regulation-compliant solutions:

  1. Inspection

    We inspect your home, crawl space, and exterior to confirm opossum activity, locate entry points, and assess any damage.

  2. Humane Trapping and Removal

    Our licensed wildlife technician uses appropriate trapping methods and removes opossums from your property as humanely as possible, following all state guidelines. 

  3. Exclusion and Repairs

    After removal, we seal entry points, reinforce vulnerable areas, and recommend any necessary repairs so opossums cannot return. Exclusion is a critical step in long term wildlife control. 

  4. Clean Up and Recommendations

    We discuss cleanup needs, odor control, and any changes that will help reduce future wildlife activity, such as securing trash or relocating pet food.
