2️⃣ Humane & Effective Removal

We use humane, state-compliant methods such as one-way exclusion devices or trapping when necessary. Our goal is to safely remove the animal without causing unnecessary harm — while ensuring the problem is fully resolved.

3️⃣ Seal, Repair & Prevent Re-Entry

Once the animal is removed, we seal all entry points with durable materials and complete necessary repairs. This prevents the same issue from happening again and protects your home long-term.

Opossum Removal – Frequently Asked Questions

1️⃣ How do I know if an opossum is on my property?

Common signs include nighttime scratching noises, tipped-over trash cans, pet food disappearing, and animals nesting under decks, porches, or sheds. Opossums are mostly active at night.

2️⃣ Are opossums dangerous?

Opossums are generally not aggressive and prefer to avoid confrontation. However, they can carry parasites and diseases, and may bite if cornered. It’s best not to handle them yourself.

3️⃣ Why is an opossum living under my deck or shed?

Opossums look for dark, sheltered areas that provide protection from weather and predators. Spaces under decks, porches, and sheds make ideal nesting spots.

4️⃣ How do you remove an opossum?

We inspect the property to identify nesting areas and entry points. Humane trapping methods are typically used, followed by securing the area to prevent another animal from moving in.

5️⃣ Will opossums come back after removal?

They may return if food sources and shelter remain available. After removal, sealing access points and eliminating attractants helps prevent future issues.
