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.

Questions

Opossums Questions

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.
