Opossum Control and Removal Services
Opossums are nocturnal animals known for their adaptability to various environments, including urban areas. Recognizable by their prehensile tails and characteristic "playing dead" defense mechanism, opossums can often be seen foraging for food at night. Opossums, while beneficial in controlling pests and cleaning up dead animals, can easily become nuisances. Signs of opossums on your property include:
- Exterior Damage: Damage to exterior parts of homes and buildings, such as chewed siding or torn insulation.
- Sounds: Scratching noises or other loud sounds, especially at night, indicating their presence.
- Missing Pet Food: Disappearing pet food from outdoor feeding areas, often taken by opossums scavenging for food.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells around areas where opossums may nest or frequent, due to their droppings and urine.
Why is it important to remove opossums?
While opossums typically do not attack humans and are generally non-aggressive, they can cause significant property damage through their scavenging and nesting behaviors. Removing opossums from residential or commercial properties is important for several reasons. These nocturnal creatures can cause damage by scavenging through garbage, gardens, and pet food, potentially leading to messes and destruction. Moreover, opossums may carry diseases such as leptospirosis and tularemia, which can be transmitted to pets and humans through bites, scratches, or contact with their waste.
