Opossums have a unique place among wildlife as North America’s only native marsupial, but they have no place in your home or on your property. Over the past three decades, Critter Control® has built a reputation as a leading wildlife management company, and our use of humane but effective removal techniques helps ensure that your Ft. Lauderdale property stays opossum-free while also preserving the wildlife that is vital to our ecosystem.

Opossum Characteristics

These furry critters are armed with a mouth full of teeth and a tail that gives them excellent dexterity. This combination means that opossums are both agile and destructive. Similarly to raccoons, opossums find their way onto a property in search of a food and water source and often make messes by rummaging through garbage cans.

These characteristics combined with their eagerness to nest in your home, garage, shed, crawlspace or attic make for good reasons to call the trained technicians at Critter Control® serving Ft. Lauderdale.

Deterring Opossums

Because of their scavenger-like behavior, the best way to discourage opossum activity on your property is to eliminate any food or water sources they may be able to access. Bring pet food and water bowls inside each day and keep garbage cans tightly sealed to prevent tampering.

If these measures aren’t enough to prevent opossum activity, consider calling a specialist at 954-504-6467.
