Signs of an Opossum Infestation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Opossums in the attic or crawlspace<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Opossums nesting under decks, porches, or sheds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dead opossum on your property<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pet food or birdseed being stolen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unusual scratching or rustling noises at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Foul odors from opossum droppings or a decomposing animal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Distressed pets barking or growling at an unseen intruder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve noticed any of these signs, it\u2019s time to call MB Wildlife Control. Our professional wildlife technicians will assess your property, remove any opossums, and secure potential entry points to prevent future infestations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Get Rid of Opossums?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The most effective way to remove opossums is through professional trapping and exclusion. While opossums are relatively easy to catch due to their scavenging nature, DIY trapping can be risky and legally complicated. Improper handling can lead to injuries, trapping non-target animals, or violating local wildlife laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At MB Wildlife Control, we use humane trapping methods that comply with Texas regulations, ensuring safe and legal removal. Once we\u2019ve removed the opossum, our exclusion experts will seal entry points to prevent future wildlife intrusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Opossum Behavior & Risks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Opossums are opportunistic feeders and will eat almost anything, including garbage, pet food, and even carrion. They are nocturnal creatures, often rummaging around at night and sometimes taking shelter inside homes, attics, or under structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although they are not aggressive, opossums can cause problems such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Property damage<\/strong> \u2013 Opossums can tear insulation, chew through materials, and leave behind droppings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Health risks<\/strong> \u2013 They carry parasites like fleas and ticks, which can spread diseases to pets and humans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Odor issues<\/strong> \u2013 If an opossum dies inside your home, the stench can linger for weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Don\u2019t Rely on Ineffective Repellents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Many store-bought repellents, such as mothballs or ultrasonic devices, claim to keep opossums away, but they do not work. The Federal Trade Commission has even issued warnings against ultrasonic sound emitters. The only reliable way to eliminate opossums is through professional removal and exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
