The Hidden Dangers of Opossums on Your Property
Why Opossums Are a Concern for Your Home and Family
Trash Scattering
Opossum trapping becomes necessary when you notice scattered trash attracting rats and insects. These messy foragers create unsanitary conditions, foul odors, and health risks from contaminated waste - all clear signs you need professional opossum trapping to protect your property.
Aggression
Although rare, opossums may display aggression when they feel threatened, hissing or baring their teeth. This behavior can alarm pets and people, increasing the risk of bites or scratches. Such incidents may also carry the potential for disease transmission.
Property Damage
Opossum trapping is key when these pests nest in attics, chew insulation, and destroy gardens. Their damage weakens structures and drives up repair costs. Prompt opossum trapping minimizes destruction and protects your property.
Disease Spread
Opossums can spread diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, and salmonella through their droppings, urine, or bites. These pathogens pose risks to both humans and pets, especially in areas where opossums forage or nest. Proper removal and sanitization are essential to prevent health hazards.

Spotting the Signs of Opossum Trouble
Notice early signs of opossums with tipped-over trash bins, droppings in your yard, or scratching noises in crawl spaces key clues they’re nearby.
Nocturnal Activity
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.

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!

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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
