Is an Opossum Causing Problems Around Your Home?
When an opossum moves onto your property, it can cause damage, messes, and unwanted stress. These are the issues many homeowners deal with before removing an opossum.
Noises That Keep You Up at Night
Opossums are most active after dark. They can make scratching and rustling sounds in walls, attics, crawl spaces, or beneath porches.
Strong Odors That Won’t Go Away
Waste left behind by an opossum can create unpleasant smells. If one dies inside your home, the smell can become very hard to ignore.
Damage to Your Home
They may damage insulation, vents, or other parts of your home while looking for shelter. Over time, this can lead to costly repairs.
Health Risks for Your Family
Droppings and urine can make your home less clean. This can make your home less clean and less safe.
Food and Garbage Problems
Opossums often tip over trash cans and search for food around your home. This can leave a mess for you to clean up every morning.
More Wildlife Finding a Way In
The same opening used by an opossum can attract other wildlife. Small openings can become easy entry points for more unwanted wildlife.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if I have an opossum on my property?
Common signs include scratching or rustling noises at night, droppings, tipped-over trash cans, pet food disappearing, strong odors, or an opossum seen around your home after dark.
Where do opossums usually hide?
Opossums often shelter under decks, porches, sheds, crawl spaces, garages, and sometimes attics. They look for quiet, protected places close to food and water.
Are opossums dangerous?
Opossums are generally not aggressive, but they may bite or scratch if they feel trapped or threatened. They can also leave behind waste that creates unhealthy conditions around your home.
Can I remove an opossum myself?
It is not recommended. Opossums can become defensive when cornered, and there may also be young animals hidden nearby. Professional removal is usually the safest option.
Will the opossum come back after it is removed?
If entry points remain open or food sources are available, another opossum may move in. Sealing access points and removing attractants helps reduce the chance of future problems.
What attracts opossums to my property?
Opossums are attracted to pet food, garbage, fallen fruit, bird seed, compost piles, and sheltered areas like decks and crawl spaces where they can safely nest.
How long does opossum removal take?
The timeline depends on where the opossum is hiding and whether there are young present. Many removals can be completed quickly, while more complex situations may require additional visits.
Do you offer cleanup after opossum removal?
Yes. If the opossum leaves behind droppings, nesting materials, or other contamination, cleanup and restoration services may be recommended to help restore a clean and safe environment.
