Getting Rid of Opossums

Serving Broward County and Palm Beach County

Opossums will generally leave people alone, but they can harass pets, get into your trash, and build their homes on your property. They can also carry diseases such as leptospirosis. Since they’re hardy survivors, it can be difficult or impossible to keep them away on your own. That’s where Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. comes in.

The Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. team offers opossum removal services that can take care of your problem for good. We have a thorough understanding of opossum behavior and will build tailored solutions for every situation. We always use humane and environmentally responsible methods to remove nuisance wildlife and prevent them from returning.

How Does Opossum Removal Work?

Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. uses live traps to capture the animal without harming it, and then relocates it to a safe location far from your property. It’s important to remember that you should never attempt to remove wild animals of any kind on your own. No matter how tame an opossum may seem, they can become aggressive when threatened. To ensure your safety along with that of the animal, it’s important to trust the pros.

Keeping Opossums Away

Following opossum removal, it’s important to make sure they don’t return. To do this, you must make your property less inviting to them. This means removing access to the three basic survival needs – food, water, and shelter. Your property provides easy access to all three, so you need to make them less accessible.

Prevention is key; it’s much easier to prevent an infestation than it is to stop one in progress. The following are a few defensive measures you can take to keep opossums away for good.

• Securing garbage in locking bins.
• Storing pet food in secure containers.
• Maintaining your yard and removing harborage (places where opossums can shelter – including yard debris, disused outbuildings, and wood piles)
• Sealing entry points to your home.

The Petri Pest Control Services, Inc. team can review your property and give you a complete list of potential weak points to help you shore up your defenses against the next nuisance wildlife that comes along.
