Opossums

🐾 Signs You Might Have an Opossum Problem! 🐾

Are you noticing signs of unexpected visitors around your home or business? It could be a sign of an opossum infestation! Here are some key indicators to watch out for:

  1. Nocturnal Activity: Opossums are primarily nocturnal creatures, so if you spot them roaming around your property at night, it's a clear sign of their presence. Keep an eye out for sightings or any rustling sounds during the late hours.

  2. Scavenging Behavior: Opossums are opportunistic feeders and will scavenge for food in trash cans, compost piles, or pet food bowls left outside. If you notice signs of food disturbance or find partially eaten items in your yard, it could indicate opossum activity.

  3. Nesting Sites: Opossums seek out sheltered areas to build their nests, such as underneath decks, in crawl spaces, or in attics. Look for signs of nesting materials like leaves, grass, or shredded insulation in these areas.

  4. Foul Odor: Opossums have a distinctive musky odor that becomes more noticeable in areas where they frequent. If you detect a strong, unpleasant smell around your property, it could be a sign of opossum activity nearby.

  5. Visible Damage: Opossums may cause damage to your property by digging up gardens, burrowing under structures, or tearing into garbage bags. Check for signs of disturbance in your yard or evidence of damage to outdoor structures.
