Opossums, those peculiar marsupials with their distinctive pointed snouts and prehensile tails, may seem like harmless creatures. However, when they take up residence in your home or on your property, they can quickly become a nuisance and even a potential health hazard. Ancon Wildlife Services offers comprehensive solutions to help you reclaim your living spaces from the unique challenges posed by opossum infestations.

The Opossum Invasion

While opossums are generally non-aggressive and prefer to avoid confrontation, their presence on your property can lead to a variety of problems. These opportunistic scavengers are attracted to areas with readily available food sources, such as unsecured garbage cans, pet food bowls, or even compost piles. Once they establish a presence, they can quickly become a nuisance, rummaging through trash and leaving behind unpleasant messes.

Additionally, opossums are known to seek shelter in attics, crawl spaces, sheds, and other secluded areas, where they can create nests and raise their young. This can lead to structural damage, foul odors, and the potential spread of diseases through their droppings and urine.

Humane Opossum Removal and Exclusion

Addressing opossum infestations promptly and effectively while adhering to ethical and humane practices is crucial. Experienced professionals are trained in the latest opossum removal and exclusion techniques, providing a safe and efficient resolution to your problem.

A multi-step approach begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify potential entry points, nesting areas, and any attractants that may be drawing opossums to your home. Once the situation is clearly understood, a customized plan tailored to your specific needs is developed.

Our Opossum Removal and Exclusion Process:

  1. Inspection and Assessment: Technicians conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your property, identifying potential entry points, nesting areas, and any areas of concern.
  2. Humane Trapping: Live traps are utilized to safely capture opossums without causing harm. These traps are strategically placed and monitored regularly to prioritize the well-being of the animals.
  3. Relocation: Once captured, the opossums are humanely relocated to a suitable natural habitat, in compliance with local regulations and best practices.
  4. Exclusion and Sealing: After the opossums have been removed, all potential entry points are sealed off to prevent future infestations, using materials such as caulk, expandable foam, or wire mesh, depending on the size and location of the openings.
  5. Preventative Measures: To discourage opossums from returning, various deterrents and exclusion techniques can be implemented, such as securing garbage cans, removing potential food sources, and modifying landscaping to make your property less attractive to these opportunistic scavengers.

Testimonials

  • After calling and hiring a competitor company, which failed miserably at solving my squirrel problem, I found Ancon Wildlife Services. Dave came out and performed an inspection of my home and informed me that the solution to my problem would be accomplished through a process known as exclusion. The other company only offered trapping services and didn't seem as knowledgeable. Dave informed me that a good portion of Ancon's customers have had a similar experience with other animal control companies. from start to finish I felt good about doing business with Ancon. I highly reccomend their service and I wish I would have called them first.

  • Mike was awesome! my experience should have been filmed and put on T.V.! Seriously. We were hearing chirping noises in our fire place and called Ancon. Mike climbed up on the roof and some how motivated the raccoon to the top. He then wrestled the critter out of the chimney with a pole of some sort and put it in cage. WOW! He wasnt done yet...he went back in the living room and removed the baby raccoons from the fireplace put them in cage and informed me that he would relocate the family all together. Fearless and caring, these guys are incredible! He then installed an animal proof chimney cap to prevent any future animal problems. Top notch service and excitement to boot.
