Opossum Removal in Houston

At First Choice Animal Solutions, we provide professional opossum removal services in Houston, TX for residential and commercial properties. While opossums may appear harmless, when they take shelter in attics, crawl spaces, or under structures, they can create sanitation issues, structural damage, and health concerns for occupants.

Our licensed professionals are trained to humanely remove opossums, identify how they gained access, and implement exclusion measures to prevent them from returning.

Why Opossums Become a Problem

Opossums are opportunistic scavengers. They are drawn to reliable food sources and protected shelter, especially during cooler months or periods of heavy rain. Once on a property, opossums commonly nest in:

• Attics
• Crawl spaces
• Under decks or sheds
• Garages and storage areas

While opossums typically cause less structural damage than rodents, they create serious secondary problems. Their droppings can spread disease, and they often carry fleas, ticks, and parasites that can transfer to pets and people.

Health & Sanitation Concerns

Opossums are known carriers of diseases such as leptospirosis, tuberculosis, and salmonella. They also introduce fleas and parasites that can lead to secondary infestations throughout the home or building.

Attempting to remove an opossum without proper training exposes occupants to unnecessary health risks and rarely addresses the root cause of the infestation.

Professional removal is critical.

Our Opossum Removal Process

Every opossum removal service begins with a thorough inspection. We assess activity areas, identify entry points, and evaluate contamination or damage before creating a removal and prevention plan.

Our opossum removal services include:

• Humane opossum removal and relocation
• Identification of access points and shelter areas
• Structural exclusion and entry point sealing
• Attic and crawl space assessments
• Recommendations for sanitation and decontamination
• Treatment for secondary infestations such as fleas or parasites

This approach resolves the immediate issue while reducing the likelihood of repeat activity.

Signs of an Opossum Infestation

Common signs of opossum activity include:

• Seeing an opossum or droppings near the property
• Knocked-over trash cans or torn trash bags
• Holes or disturbed areas in the yard
• Noises in the attic or crawl space at night
• Damage to insulation, ducts, or wooden structures

Early intervention helps prevent sanitation issues and further property damage.

Yard & Exterior Damage

Opossums may dig small holes in yards while foraging for insects and food. While this damage is usually minor, repeated activity can disrupt landscaping and signal that the animal is nesting nearby.

Preventing Future Opossum Activity

Preventing opossum infestations requires addressing both attractants and access points. Effective prevention measures include:

• Securing trash and food sources
• Storing pet food indoors
• Sealing attic, crawl space, and foundation gaps
• Trimming tree branches that allow roof access
• Addressing previous nesting locations properly

Our team provides guidance and exclusion solutions designed to protect the property long term.
