Opossums may give birth to up to 20 babies although rarely more than half survive.

Opossums are a very dirty animal that are often infested with fleas and frequently take up residence in the yard, home, or business building of Dallas, Texas residents. Opossums in your attic or crawl space can cause significant damage to your home or business and leave you stuck with bill after bill for excessive, yet ineffective, flea bombings.

Opossums will often sound loud in your attic and will make various thumping sounds that are louder than rats and squirrels, however lighter than a raccoon would sound. Also, if opossums are in your attic or crawlspace most of the sounds will be occurring at night due to the fact that opossums are nocturnal. Hissing noises might be heard as well but the odds of hearing an opossum hiss in your attic is very unlikely.

If you suspect that you have an opossum in your attic or crawlspace please call Trapping USA immediately to have an Opossum Removal Specialist trap the opossums out and remove all feces and decontaminate the area that they invaded!

The possum, or opossum, is a scavenger, thanks to its adaptability and highly-effective immune system. There are over 100+ species of opossum in the world, though the most common and recognizable is the Virginia opossum. If you suspect a possum in your home or yard, it’s crucial to understands the facts, first and foremost.

The average size of an opossum is 21-36” long; 4-15 lbs.
The average lifespan in the wild is 1-2 years; relatively short compared to many other pests
Identifying features include a cat-sized body, grey fur with a white face; pointed snout; round, dark eyes; hairless ears; long, hairless tail.
When threatened or harmed, possums tend to mimic the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. Their lips are drawn back, teeth bared, and saliva foams from the mouth.
Typically, opossums prefer woodlands with nearby water sources – streams or swamps. They do not build dens and will take shelter in attics or man-made shelters.

Opossum Prevention Tips

Rodents and other wildlife species can be hard to differentiate once they take up home in your attic or crawl spaces. The following are some of the most recognizable indicators of the presence of squirrels in your home. If you are encountering any of these phenomena, set up an appointment with Trapping USA right away and let us do a free inspection to determine the cause:

Keep your yard clean – possums do not find clean areas attractive, so keeping a clean yard will discourage their advances
Take pet food indoors – Do not leave pet food or water bowls outside, especially at night
Remove potential shelters – Avoid wood piles, dry leaves, or stacks of accumulated materials in your yard.
Secure garbage lids – Like raccoons, possums love to get into trash cans for food. Keep lids tight and locked if possible.
Clear rotting fruit or vegetables – If you have a garden, do not leave rotting fruit or vegetables out.
