Here’s How Our Team Handles Possums the Right Way

Every property and wildlife issue is different. That’s why we start with a detailed inspection before taking any action. Our technicians identify where possums are nesting, how they’re getting in, and what’s attracting them to your property.

Once we have a clear picture of the problem, our process includes:

• Humane trapping and removal. Safe, approved methods that remove possums without harm.
• Entry point sealing. Blocking potential access around vents, decks, and crawl spaces.
• Sanitation and clean-up. Removing droppings and odors that could attract other wildlife.
• Long-term prevention. Recommendations for waste management and yard maintenance to keep possums away.

This approach allows us to restore comfort and cleanliness without unnecessary disruption to your home or business.

What Attracts Possums to Your Property

Possums are adaptable scavengers that thrive in Florida’s warm, humid climate. Being nocturnal, they often wander into yards or buildings at night looking for food, water, and shelter. Open trash bins, pet food bowls, compost piles, or gaps beneath decks and crawl spaces are some of the most common attractants.

While possums rarely act aggressively toward people, their presence can lead to sanitation concerns, lingering odors, and secondary pest activity. Fleas, ticks, and mites often follow where possums nest, and their droppings can contaminate insulation or attic spaces. Indoors, they may also damage ductwork or wiring as they build nests.

Because possums are protected under Florida wildlife laws, removal requires a humane, licensed approach, something our team applies on every job to keep both people and wildlife safe.
