The problem
Opossum Removal That Gets to the Source
Opossums are night visitors that move in under raised homes, decks, sheds and crawlspaces, and sometimes climb into attics. They tear up insulation and ductwork and leave droppings and odor behind.
We trap and remove opossums humanely, then seal crawlspaces, vents and other openings so another one doesn't move into the same spot.
Signs of opossums
- Noises under the floor or in the attic at night
- Torn crawlspace vents or skirting
- Knocked-over trash cans or pet food missing
- Droppings near the house or under decks
- A strong odor under the home
Why here
Why Opossums Are So Common in Louisiana
Raised homes, crawlspaces, sheds and easy food like pet bowls and trash make Louisiana neighborhoods a perfect fit for opossums, especially near wooded lots and drainage canals.
How we treat it
Our Opossum Removal Process
Inspection
Finding where the opossum is living and how it's getting in.
Humane trapping
Traps set and checked, and the animal removed from your property.
Exclusion
Crawlspaces, vents and skirting sealed so nothing moves back in.
Cleanup
Droppings removal, sanitizing and odor treatment, plus dead animal removal if needed.
Opossum removal is billed per visit or per animal. Exclusion is quoted after inspection. See wildlife removal for plans and details.
Are opossums dangerous?
They rarely attack, but they can carry fleas, ticks and parasites, and their droppings shouldn't be handled. Leave them alone and call us.
Why is an opossum under my house?
Crawlspaces and the space under decks give them a safe, dry den close to food like pet bowls and trash.
Will the opossum leave on its own?
Sometimes, but another one will often move into the same spot. Sealing the opening is what solves it.
Do you remove dead opossums?
Yes. We remove the animal, deodorize and sanitize the area.
