Coming in at between 10 and 14 pounds, opossums are generally considered non-aggressive animals even through anytime they feel threatened they will hiss so loudly they will easily scare anyone. Even though opossums aren’t very common in human habitations like several other furry creatures, anytime you see then around you need to remember that they are wild animals and they must be handled as such; they should be dealt with fast and with a lot of care. Animal control services understand that having any animal anywhere in your property can be a scary issue and they will be more than willing to assist.
Should you discover an opossum anywhere in your property or living underneath your home, you should start by calming down so that you don’t scare it and it starts acting aggressively. However, even if the animal started acting aggressively, you should not at all try to engage it. The first thing you are going to do is to call your local opossum removal service because they know how to deal with any kind animal removal emergency.
Animal removal service experts are well trained in all matters to do with aggressive animals and they know how to deal with them safely and effectively especially because they have the right opossum removal tools and equipment. It is an open secret among wildlife control service experts that wild animals will bite when they feel threatened and frightened; even though opossums don’t carry the rabies virus, they can be infected by a number of dangerous bacteria that they can easily transfer to humans and their pets.
Opossums have the habit of hiding under porches, in sheds or even inside the attic as long as they can find their way inside. Once they get space inside, the females will start to nest and raise their young and you can be sure they will not leave easily unless they get forced out. The animal removal service companies know humane ways for handling any creatures that come close to human habitations. The only effective and permanent opossum removal method is expert trapping, habitat modification, and exclusion. They always discourage one-way doors since opossums can easily return and simply chew their way into your home in another way.
Opossum mothers will carry their babies everywhere they go which mean that once the opossum removal expert has dealt with them they will be little chance that they will be left at your home. However, when all is said and done, the animal removal service will do a thorough check for all live and dead creatures before they can seal off any entry to your property as a permanent solution. Unfortunately, animal repellants don’t work; so don’t even try DIY opossum removal.
