Expert Opossum Removal & Control for Your Home Or Business

Are you hearing unusual noises in your attic, under your deck, or spotting an unwelcome visitor near your trash cans? If you’re dealing with opossums on your property, Pro Trap Wildlife Control & Pest Management is here to help. We provide safe, humane, and effective opossum removal services to protect your home and bring you peace of mind.

Why Opossums Might Be Living on Your Property

Opossums are common in many neighborhoods because our homes offer exactly what they’re looking for: easy access to food and safe shelter. They are adaptable creatures that can make themselves at home in a variety of spots around your property, including:

  • Underneath decks, sheds, and porches: These areas offer quiet, dark places to build nests.
  • Inside crawl spaces: An open crawl space is an open invitation for an opossum looking for a warm, dry spot.
  • Near inground pools: They might seek shelter in the surrounding structures.
  • Garbage cans and pet food dishes: An easy meal is a huge draw for these opportunistic eaters.

While opossums are generally not aggressive, having them around can lead to concerns like damaged property, scattered trash, and the potential for disease transmission. Their agile nature, sharp claws, and climbing ability (thanks to their unique tails and thumbs) mean they can access many hidden spots around your home.

Our Trusted Opossum Removal & Prevention Process

At Pro Trap, we offer a complete solution, from identifying the problem to making sure it doesn’t happen again. Here’s how we safely and effectively remove opossums from your property:

1. Thorough Home & Property Inspection

Our first step is always a detailed inspection of your home and property. We carefully examine common entry points like holes, gaps, and crevices around your foundation, roofline, and other structures. We’ll identify exactly where opossums are getting in and where they might be nesting.

2. Safe & Humane Opossum Removal

Once we understand the extent of the problem, we set up humane traps in strategic locations. Our priority is the safety of both your family and the opossum. We carefully monitor the traps and, once an opossum is caught, we humanely remove it from your property, relocating it to a more suitable natural habitat far from your home.

3. Long-Term Opossum Proofing & Prevention

Removing the current visitors is only half the battle. To ensure opossums don’t return, we focus on prevention. Based on our inspection, we’ll seal up entry points, repair damaged areas, and recommend solutions to make your property less inviting to wildlife. By removing their access to shelter and food sources, we make sure they look elsewhere for a home.

  1. Inspecting the property.
  2. Identifying entry and exit points.
  3. Installing species-appropriate eviction devices or traps.
  4. Confirming the animal has left.
