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.

Critter stop has done an amazing job with all the services they have provided. From the beginning of their process it has been a seamless experience with them and transparent as well. Jared was the first to come to provide a quote and he was understanding kind and extremely knowledgeable.

Afterwards, the technicians, Tyler and Dakota also did a stellar job. I was so impressed with the service that they provide that we continue to use them for pest and mosquito treatment. And that has also been outstanding as well.

Shout out to Jared, Tyler and Dakota for their hard work!

Jarod came out and inspected my attic to see if we had any rodent issues, he did a thorough inspection and was honest and said nothing that he could see. If I have any issues in the future this would be my first call you for a customer for life!

Such amazing customer service! Having 2 Raccoon families in our fireplace has been stressful to say the least, but Jordan and Jacob from the Georgetown team were nothing less than amazing! They were so kind and talked me through each step of the removal process and securing the fireplace so the eviction is final!
I would 1,000 percent recommend the company (especially if you’re in the Georgetown area) and Jordan and Jacob made a customer for life! - but hoping we don’t need them in the future ;)

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.
