Opossum Control

If you’ve noticed suspicious scratching noises in the attic, droppings around your property, or rifling through your bins in the dead of night, you might be dealing with an opossum problem.

How to Know if You Have Opossums on Your Property

Identifying an opossum problem can be tricky, especially since they’re nocturnal and often avoid crossing paths with humans. However, a few telltale signs can alert you to their presence:

• Nocturnal Noise: Hearing scratching, thumping, or rustling in walls, crawl spaces, or attics after sundown may indicate an opossum at large.
• Unusual Droppings: Opossum droppings look distinct from most other animal droppings. They are unusually dark, tubular, and may contain visible seeds or insect parts.
• Disheveled Garbage Cans: Opossums love to scavenge, frequently tipping over trash bins to search for food scraps.
• Nesting Material and Displaced Insulation: Torn-up insulation, shredded paper, or leaf piles tucked into corners of your home or shed may signal a nesting opossum.

Are Opossums and Possums the Same?

Yes, here in the southeast, “possum” and “opossum” are used interchangeably to refer to the same creature: the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana). However, there is a related but different species called the true “possum” that lives in Australia. For our purposes, if you say “possum” or “opossum,” we’ll know exactly what you mean — and we’re prepared to help!
