Opossum Trapping, Removal and Control in the Greater Toronto Area

Opossums are one of the GTA’s most prevalent scavengers next to raccoons.  and like to live in urban areas, particularly human structures like attics, garages, sheds and underneath houses.

You can tell you have an opossum visitor usually by their unique footprints. As human like fingers, opossums don’t have the best skills to dig or tear into homes.

Opossum also often take over the abandoned dens of other wild animals. Hence the importance to secure all skunk, raccoon and other wildlife dens whenever you discover them.

Opossums also seek shelter in piles of brush open tree cavities and other undisturbed areas of the back yard.

Although opossums are not known for carrying rabies (their body temperatures are too low for them to be a hospitable host to the virus), however, they do carry plenty of fleas, parasites and bacteria. Opossum excrement other than being very smelly, can pose a risk to humans for salmonella and leptospirosis.

Opossum Life Cycles

Opossums are prolific breeders, giving birth to as many as a dozen young within just 15 days of mating, starting in the month of February. The kidney bean size baby’s, crawl into the mother’s pouch or pocket (opossums are North America’s only marsupial) where they suckle until they are mature. Once the joeys emerge from the pouch, mother’s back becomes the next transportation before walking around.

Although not much bigger than the average house cat, opossums can become aggressive when confronted; bearing their 50 sharp teeth with a sinister hiss. Alternatively they may drop down and play dead, going limp and motionless with their tongues hanging out to discourage would-be aggressors.

Opossums are not renowned as being the brightest of animals and they are not particularly agile. Nevertheless, you’d be well advised to call in the professionals at Sande Wildlife Control to get rid of this wildlife pest.

At Sande Wildlife Control, we will not only remove your opossum, but will also secure dens that provide shelter as well as ways to discourage them from setting up home with you again in the future.

Opossums feed at night off a wide range of foods. Such foods include different fruits, variety of bugs, pet food, garbage and even dead animals. Among the best precautions you can take on to discourage opossums from setting up shelter is as follows:

• Remove all access to bird feeders as well as pet food.
• Secure all food waste in secure areas with no access.
• Secure sides of decks as well as underneath sheds or additions of homes.
• Make sure to remove any deceased wildlife on your property.
• Make sure to all garage and shed doors securely closed all the time.
