Opossums are shy and slow-moving, but when they invade your property, they can create serious problems. They often raid garbage, steal pet food, and nest under decks, sheds, and crawl spaces. While they rarely attack, opossums can spread parasites, fleas, and diseases that put your family and pets at risk. Our humane opossum removal service ensures your home stays safe and protected without harming wildlife.
DIY opossum removal is risky—they can carry diseases and may become aggressive if cornered, especially mothers with babies. Our licensed experts use humane traps and exclusion techniques to safely remove opossums from your property. We also secure entry points and provide preventative solutions to stop them from returning.
