Opossum Removal & Control

The opossum, sometimes referred to "possum", is the most common form of marsupial found in the Western Hemisphere. They can grow up to the size of a large cat, but are actually about 2 – 3 feet long with the length of their rat-like tail. Opossums have distinctively elongated snouts and narrow skulls, pink noses, black eyes and black, hairless ears. The fur on their bodies is a grayish white, which fades to a darker gray on their limbs.

    tips to repel opossums from gardens

    Are Opossums Nesting Under Your Home?

    Opossums are nocturnal creatures with a flexible diet, making them difficult to catch in action and even more difficult to get rid of for good. They love to hide in dark areas below or above ground. These adaptable little creatures can just as easily take over an abandoned burrow as climb a tree. Unless you catch one rummaging through the garbage, your best bet for locating where an opossum has been is to follow the tracks its sharp claws have left behind.

    Opossums are some of the least picky eaters on the planet. These omnivores will feast on everything from road kill and worms to Fido's kibble or your leftover fruit salad! Not only will possums rummage through your garbage, they'll eat crops fresh from your garden and trample what they leave behind. This, coupled with their abounding resilience, makes opossums a formidable foe, best taken on by a trained professional who is never fooled by their "playing possum".

    Eliminate 'Em Pest Control Services provides you with fast, professional, courteous service and licensed technicians to handle all your pest control needs. We offer same-day services and free estimates to eliminate opossums, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Why Should You Contact an Opossum Removal Professional?

    • Disease Risks Opossums can carry diseases like leptospirosis and tuberculosis that are harmful to humans and pets.
    • Pet Food Attraction They are often drawn to porch areas by pet food, leading to frequent encounters with domestic animals.
    • Garden Scavenging Opossums will raid gardens and trash cans, leaving behind a mess and attracting other scavengers.
    • Parasite Spread They are often covered in fleas, ticks, and mites that can easily transition into your home.
    • Attic Invasions While they prefer low areas, opossums can climb into attics and create large, messy nests.
    • Aggressive Hissing When cornered, they display aggressive behavior and sharp teeth that can be frightening and dangerous.

      I can’t say enough about Josh and the service he provided! I had been struggling with yellow jackets getting into my house for 7-8 days. After I was actually stung while sitting in my recliner in the living room, I had my window air conditioner removed, thinking they were somehow getting in through there. Unfortunately, that didn’t help. The next day, I had 4 yellow jackets on my front windows, and the following day I had 3 more. That’s when I finally gave up and researched who the best people were to call. I am SO glad I did! This company is outstanding. They answered the phone on the second ring, were extremely polite, and assured me that a technician would contact me within 15 minutes. They gave me his name, and Josh called me within 5 minutes. I opted to go with emergency service because I was afraid of getting stung again. Just arrived in under 10 minutes. It took Josh less than 5 minutes to find where they were coming from.... the swarm was at the very top of my chimney! It was a very large yellow-jacket nest, and Josh took care of it immediately. He explained that it would take a few days for all of the yellow jackets to completely die off and told me that if I was still seeing them after that, I should simply call him back. Josh was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and professional. I couldn’t have asked for better service. I am super happy that I called this company and will definitely be using them for my home from here on out. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a pest problem!
