Humane Opossum Removal and Home Entry Point Sealing
We begin with a full inspection of your attic, crawl space, or exterior to identify how opossums are entering and where they may be nesting. While they rarely cause major damage, we safely and humanely remove them, seal up any access points, and ensure your home is secure to prevent future intrusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if an opossum is under my porch or deck?
Noises at night, droppings, disturbed trash, and sightings around dusk are common signs.
Are opossums dangerous?
They’re typically non-aggressive, but can bite if threatened; they can also bring fleas/ticks.
Do you trap and relocate opossums?
If you relocate: state it. If not: explain your legal approach per Illinois regulations.

What attracts opossums to my home?
Pet food outdoors, open garbage, easy shelter under structures, and accessible crawlspaces.

Many cases are resolved quickly, but prevention work may take additional time.
How much does opossum removal cost?

Less common than raccoons/squirrels, but they can enter garages, crawlspaces, and sometimes attics.
What should I do if I see an opossum in my yard?
Give it space, remove attractants, and call for help if it’s denning or entering structures.
