Expert Opossum Control Services
Opossums might look like a threat with their mouthful of teeth, but they are generally docile animals looking for an easy meal. They frequently wander in Swarthmore and get into crawlspaces or into low hanging attics. While they are not aggressive, their presence brings a musky odor that can permeate your entire living space if they settle in. The smell makes it essential to get them safely removed from the property.
You can usually spot an opossum problem by the large, cat-like tracks they leave in soft garden soil. The rustling sounds they make under the floorboards at night are also a distinct identification. They are opportunistic feeders, so they are often drawn to your property by fallen fruit and unsecured trash cans left out after dark.
While they help control tick populations in the wild, having an opossum living in your home is no less than a mess. They leave behind significant amounts of feces and can invite parasites into your home. Our removal process focuses on identifying their travel paths and safely removing them from your property without causing unnecessary harm.
