Nocturnal activity, such as rustling sounds at night or overturned trash bins, is a key sign of opossum presence. These creatures are active after dark, scavenging for food and shelter.

Tipped-Over Trash

Tipped-over trash bins often indicate opossum activity, as these scavengers search for food in accessible waste. This behavior is common in areas where they roam at night.

Tracks or Droppings

Opossum tracks show five toes with visible claw marks, while their droppings are tapered at the ends and often contain seeds or insect remnants. These signs help identify their presence around your property.

Ok....had a really bad raccoons problem. Contacted Critter Stop May 30, 2026. Sent a Critter Human Ross. Waited two days an trapped the Mom....not happy...Trapped 2 baby raccoons...not happy.... another Critter Human Ross stopped by. Crawled underneath my mobile home and verified two more very small baby raccoons....placed two more traps...underneath the kitchen area. Next morning, trapped two more baby raccoons.....very happy. The whole raccoon family trapped safely and relocated. Ross and David were great too work with and followed their instructions.....yahoo!!! Payment was straight forward and worth every penny. The entire staff worked with me with no problems. If any one has a critter problem....ask for Ross & David......home is clean and me and my boy can sleep through the NIGHT!!@ P.s. the other Critter Human was David......sorry fat fingers on key board

I can’t say enough great things about Critter Stop, especially Tyler! He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Tyler was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain everything so we knew exactly what was going on and what to expect.
What really stood out was his attention to detail and genuine care for doing the job right. He didn’t rush through anythingβ€”he made sure the issue was fully addressed and went the extra mile to help prevent future problems. It’s rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and so easy to work with.
Tyler was also incredibly respectful of our home and made the whole process stress-free. You can tell he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his customers.
If you’re dealing with any kind of critter issue, I highly recommend Critter Stopβ€”and definitely ask for Tyler. You’ll be in excellent hands!

Critter Stop exceeded every expectation I had. I called them after discovering I had unexpected houseguests living rent-free in my attic… a raccoon and her babies. At some point, she fully moved in, had her children, and I am pretty sure she was one throw pillow away from filing for homestead rights.

From the very first call, their responsiveness was incredibly impressive. They got back to me quickly and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, which is saying a lot when you are lying in bed at night, wondering how many tiny hands are currently rearranging your insulation or hosting what sounds like a full CrossFit class above your ceiling. Their communication was excellent, both when scheduling the appointment and keeping me updated on arrival time. No guessing, no waiting, no spiraling into worst-case scenarios at 2 a.m. while googling β€œcan raccoons chew through drywall and make eye contact.”

Adrian was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, calm, and respectful, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel like I was not completely losing control of my own home. He handled the situation like it was just another Tuesday, while I was mentally preparing to list my house β€œlightly used, recently occupied by woodland creatures” and let the raccoons keep it. What stood out most was his integrity. There was no pressure, no upselling, and no dramatic β€œyou need everything replaced immediately” speech. Just honest recommendations and real solutions.

If a raccoon ever decides to start a family in your attic and treat your home like an all-inclusive resort, skip the panic and call Critter Stop. I could not recommend them more highly.

Manda is the best! She taught us about mosquitos and the products that make them infertile. That was so interesting!
She is such a great person, loves all animals and protects and rescues them at all costs. Some employees in similar fields put animals down fairly often, oh, not my girl Manda! She will set live traps and wait for them. Sometimes she leave a and swings back around to get them. But she never forgets a single soul in a trap. She protects them and the families who want the critter removed and relocated.
I can't think of a better person for this job. It's a lifestyle for her I assume. Although she is small, she is buff and mighty! Her example of all the things a woman can do have inspired me to go after my dream of protecting others. I have changed my major as a return student.
Ladies, we can do anything! If you don't believe me, call credit control and request only Amanda to come out to your place. You will meet one of the strongest women on the planet.

This company will not give you before and after pictures of the work they claim to have done. Their workers are stretched and stressed as admitted by one of their own workers. You will receive zero response from them when you have questions. They will charge you and ignore your requests. They claimed I had rats and 2 ringtails but nothing was caught in traps or on video. I asked for before and after photos of the areas they sealed and they wouldn’t provide them. Select a better company.
Ask for Jordan at Critter Stop. He showed up on time, identified a raccoon that had torn through my soffit and started nesting in my attic, smoked the attic to clear it out, and helped me develop a solution that saved me hundreds of dollars.

What impressed me most was his honesty. There was no upselling and no pressureβ€”just straightforward advice, expert knowledge, and a genuine desire to help solve the problem the right way.

It's rare to find that kind of integrity and customer service today. I highly recommend Jordan and Critter Stop for any wildlife or animal control needs.
Jordan has been amazing! As a community manager, I greatly appreciate that he is very responsive, friendly and prompt for any issues!

We decided to go with Critter Stop after discovering a family of ringtails in our attic, and we’re so glad we did. We worked with Jacob in Austin, and I really appreciated how much time he took to explain the estimate and walk me through everything that was happening. We’re very grateful for the care and thoroughness he put into the job, and I would highly recommend Critter Stop to anyone needing their services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does opossum removal cost?

An average opossum removal job costs around $300-$500. Every home and opossum invasion is unique. We price based on features of the home, square footage of the home, the severity of the infestation, whether you have a tight crawl space or a big open attic, landscaping around the home (determines how hard it is to get to entry points), steepness of the roof (determines how long it will take), if we have to harness in, etc. Each client receives an itemized list of everything they are charged for and the cost of each item. Since we cannot provide accurate pricing over the phone, we offer free inspections and estimates!

Are your removal methods safe for kids and pets?

Yes, our removal methods are completely safe for kids and pets. At Critter Stop, we use humane techniques and products to ensure the safety of your family while effectively addressing the opossum problem.

What do opossums eat?

An opossum's diet is varied and adaptable; it includes insects, fruits, and even small animals, allowing them to contribute to ecosystem balance by controlling pest populations. Notably, opossums are known to eat mosquitoes, which helps reduce potential disease transmission in their habitats.


How quickly can you remove opossums from my home?

The time it takes to remove opossums from your home depends on the severity of the infestation. At Critter Stop, we aim to address the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible, creating a customized plan tailored to the specific issue in your home. Our team will provide you with all the details about the removal process, ensuring transparency and effective results.

Do opossums carry diseases?

Like most wildlife, opossums can carry diseases. However, contrary to popular belief, opossums are remarkably resistant to rabies due to their lower body temperature. While they may carry diseases such as leptospirosis or coccidia, transmission to humans is rare.

Should i try to remove opossums myself?

While DIY removal may seem cheaper, it fails to address the root cause of the invasion and ultimately proves more expensive in the long run. These methods also put you and your family in harm's way, as opossums can and will defend themselves if they feel threatened. Professional removal keeps you safe and ensures you won't be facing opossum problems again.

Don’t Let Opossums Take Over, Take Action Today!

Opossum trapping is essential when these nocturnal pests cause property damage and health risks. Don't let them disrupt your home or business any longer! Our expert team provides safe, humane opossum trapping and wildlife removal tailored to your needs. Call today to reclaim your space!
