Opossum Removal
America's only marsupial is a great scavenger, but a bad houseguest. We humanely remove opossums from your crawlspace or attic.
Schedule RemovalThe Problem with Opossums
Scavenging Mess
Opossums are attracted to garbage and pet food. They will tip over trash cans, raid gardens, and fight with outdoor cats over food bowls.
Parasite Magnets
Opossums are notorious for carrying massive loads of fleas. When an opossum nests in your crawlspace, these fleas often migrate up into the home, infesting pets and carpets.
Die-Off Risk
Opossums have short lifespans (2-4 years). They frequently crawl under houses to die, creating an unbearable stench and attracting swarms of flies.
Live Removal (Trapping)
If the opossum is living under your deck or shed, we use humane cage traps. Opossums are easy to catch but require professional handling to avoid bites and parasite transfer.
Best For:
Active noises, sightings in the yard, digging under structures.
Dead Animal Extraction
If you smell a terrible odor or see a swarm of flies, an opossum may have died in your crawlspace or wall. We suit up, crawl in, remove the carcass, and sanitize the area.
Best For:
Sudden foul odors, fly infestations, no scratching noises.
Warning for Kentucky Horse Owners
In Kentucky, opossums pose a unique threat to the equine industry. They carry a parasite that causes Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).
The disease attacks a horse's central nervous system and can be fatal. It is transmitted through opossum feces contaminating hay, grain, or pasture. If you have horses, you cannot tolerate opossums on your property.
Protecting Kentucky's horses from EPM is part of our mission.
