Opossums
Opossum Removal & Prevention Services
Opossums may not seem as destructive as other wildlife, but when they invade homes and properties, they can cause serious problems. From damaging insulation to spreading disease, these nocturnal animals can create hazardous conditions if left unchecked. Our professional opossum removal and prevention services ensure that your home, business, or farm remains safe and protected.
The Risks of an Opossum Infestation
Living Under Homes & Buildings – Opossums often seek shelter under homes, decks, or sheds. Once inside, they can cause significant damage by pulling down insulation, tearing open HVAC ducts, and leaving behind large amounts of droppings, creating sanitation concerns.
Health Hazards & Disease – Opossums can carry various pathogens, including leptospirosis, tuberculosis, and coccidiosis, which can be harmful to humans and pets. Their droppings and urine may also contaminate areas they inhabit.
Flea Infestations – Opossums are common carriers of fleas, and when they invade a home, they can bring these pests with them. Removing the opossum is the first step, but a flea treatment may also be necessary to fully resolve the issue.
Threat to Chickens & Eggs – Opossums are opportunistic feeders and are known to invade chicken coops, eating eggs and sometimes attacking poultry. Once inside, they can cause significant losses for backyard farmers and commercial poultry owners.
