Opossum Removal in Texas

Humane Texas Opossum Removal & Control

When opossums take up residence in or around your home, they can quickly become a serious nuisance. These solitary marsupials are opportunistic, highly adaptable, and surprisingly persistent once they’ve found a reliable food source or shelter. While they’re generally non-aggressive and driven purely by survival instincts, their habits can still cause significant problems for homeowners.

Opossums are omnivorous scavengers that feed on just about anything they can access, including pet food, garbage, and fallen fruit. They’re especially drawn to quiet, protected spaces such as crawl spaces, attics, decks, and sheds where they can rest or raise their young. Despite their bulky appearance, opossums are capable climbers and can squeeze through small gaps or vents. Being nocturnal, they’re most active at night, often going unnoticed until damage, odors, or repeated sightings become impossible to ignore.

The good news is that opossums are cautious animals that rely heavily on their sense of smell and awareness of potential threats. At Critter Evictor, we use this natural behavior to safely and effectively encourage opossums to leave your property. Once they’ve exited, we focus on preventing their return by securing the areas that initially permitted their access. This proven approach is the foundation of our long-term opossum removal solution.

Innovative Critter Removal Method

Rather than relying on stressful trapping or other harmful methods, we use a specialized chemical treatment designed to make the area undesirable to opossums. This treatment utilizes scent cues that signal danger or predator activity, prompting the animal to relocate on its own. While these deterrents naturally fade over time, our process ensures they’re paired with permanent prevention measures for lasting results. Our team also evicts a wide range of other animals, including raccoons, rats, and squirrels.

Full-Property Inspection & Exclusion Services

Before removal begins, our team performs a thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points and structural vulnerabilities that opossums may be using or targeting. These can include gaps in siding, damaged vents, crawl space openings, or foundation weaknesses. During your free initial inspection, we assess the entire structure of your home. After removal, we seal and reinforce all identified access points to prevent future intrusions. Our technicians also address any additional problem areas discovered during the exclusion process at no extra cost. Everything is included in your one-time service fee.
