Opossums are the only marsupial found in North America and play an important role in controlling pests like ticks and rodents. However, when wild animals enter your home or yard, they can become nuisance animals that cause damage and health concerns. At Global Pest Management, our wildlife removal services are designed to safely rid of opossums and prevent them from returning.
If you’ve spotted an opossum on your property or heard noises at night, contact us for professional wildlife removal today.
Why OpossumsAre A Problem
Opossums may appear harmless, but they can create significant issues for homeowners. They are known for rummaging through trash, digging under structures, and nesting in unwanted areas. While opossums typically play dead when threatened, an aggressive opossum may bite if cornered.
An opossum problem can lead to:
- Damage to insulation, siding, and landscaping
- Chewed electric wire and other structural damage
- Contamination from droppings and urine
- Risk of disease transmission to pets and family
- Attraction of other pests like fleas and ticks
Because opossums can carry diseases, professional critter control is recommended for safe removal.
Signs You Need Opossum Removal
Recognizing the early signs of opossum activity can help prevent more extensive issues. Look for:
- Sightings of opossums in your yard or near your home
- Noises in the attic, crawl space, or under decks at night
- Torn trash cans or scattered garbage
- Droppings near entry points or in nesting areas
- Scratching or shuffling sounds in walls or under structures
These signs often indicate opossums have established a nesting site on your property.
