HOW TO SPOT OPOSSUM ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Opossums can be secretive, but recognizing signs of their presence is crucial for effective management. Watch for these key indicators:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Be aware of the rustling sounds at night or overturned garbage cans, common signs that opossums are nearby or scavenging in the area.

2. Visible Damage

Look for torn ductwork or insulation in your attic, or damage to garden areas, which can suggest opossum nesting or feeding activities.

3. Tracks and Trails

Notice tracks with opposable thumbs on the rear feet and scattered droppings, often found near your home or in mud, indicating their paths and frequent visits.

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On-time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
