Opossum Removal by Petri Pest Control in South Florida

Opossums generally avoid people, but they can become a nuisance when they get into trash, take shelter beneath structures, or find their way into garages, crawl spaces, and other areas around your property.

Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. provides professional opossum removal throughout Broward & Palm Beach Counties, FL. Our team evaluates where activity is occurring, identifies conditions attracting the animal, and recommends an appropriate removal and prevention strategy based on the property.

How Does Opossum Removal Work?

Professional opossum removal begins with an inspection to determine where the animal is living, how it is accessing the property, and whether food, water, or shelter is encouraging continued activity.

When trapping is appropriate, live-capture methods may be used in accordance with Florida wildlife requirements. Traps must be monitored regularly, and captured wildlife must be handled according to applicable state regulations.

Avoid approaching or attempting to handle a wild opossum yourself, especially if the animal is trapped, injured, or behaving unusually. A wildlife professional can determine the appropriate next step for the situation.

How to Help Keep Opossums Away

After an opossum problem is resolved, reducing access to food, water, and shelter can help make your property less attractive to future wildlife.

Steps that may help reduce opossum activity include:

  • Secure Trash: Use tightly closed garbage containers and avoid leaving accessible food waste outdoors.
  • Store Pet Food Properly: Keep pet food indoors or in secure containers and avoid leaving bowls outside overnight.
  • Reduce Hiding Areas: Remove unnecessary yard debris, brush piles, and other sheltered areas near the structure.
  • Seal Entry Points: Repair openings around crawl spaces, garages, sheds, and other areas after confirming wildlife is no longer inside.
  • Address Other Attractants: Fallen fruit, unsecured compost, and other outdoor food sources may encourage wildlife activity.

Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. can inspect your property for entry points and other conditions that may contribute to recurring wildlife problems.
