The problem
Opossum Removal, done right
Opossums don't dig their own dens. They move into whatever's already there: a gap under the deck, a crawlspace with a broken vent, a garage left open, or an old skunk or woodchuck burrow.
They're mostly harmless, but they make a mess, raid trash and pet food, and can end up dying somewhere you'll smell it. We remove them humanely and close off the space.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s opossums
- An animal coming and going from under the deck, shed or porch at night
- Trash or pet food raided overnight
- Droppings in the garage or crawlspace
- A torn crawlspace vent or skirting
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Inspect
We find where the opossum is denning and how it's getting in.
Remove
We remove it humanely, and check for young carried in the pouch or on the mother's back.
Close it off
We screen the crawlspace, repair vents and skirting, or install a buried barrier under the deck or shed.

Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524Are opossums dangerous?
Rarely. They'll hiss and show their teeth, or play dead, but they almost never attack. Still, don't corner or handle one.
What attracts opossums to my yard?
Food and shelter: trash, pet food, bird seed, compost, fallen fruit and open space under decks and sheds.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
