Long Island opossum control FAQs

631-681-5581
Why is an opossum living under my deck?

The space under a deck or shed is dark, dry and protected, and pet food, garbage or fallen fruit nearby makes it more attractive. We find the way in and what is drawing it to the yard.

Is your opossum removal humane?

Yes. We use humane trapping and exclusion methods, and our team is trained to handle wildlife ethically. The goal is to keep stress and harm to the animal as low as possible while we solve the problem.

How do you keep opossums from coming back?

After removal we close off the space under decks and sheds with barriers and seal the gaps into garages and crawl spaces. We also show you what to store or remove so the yard is less inviting.

Are you licensed for opossum removal?

Yes. Our wildlife division holds the New York State Wildlife Control License. We are NWCOA Certified and hold the NWCOA EPIC certification for exclusion product installation.

How much does opossum removal cost?

It depends on where the opossum is living and how much of the deck, shed or foundation needs to be closed off. We inspect first and give you the price before any work starts, and the quote is free.

What are the signs of an opossum?

Hissing or rustling under a deck or shed at night. Pet food bowls on the porch emptied overnight. An animal in the garage among stored bins, or in a crawl space.

Can an opossum get into my garage or crawl space?

Yes. Opossums get into garages and crawl spaces through gaps. We remove the animal, find the gap it used and seal it.

What draws opossums to my yard?

Pet food left outside, garbage and fallen fruit, plus a dark, dry space under a deck or shed to live in. We show you what to store or remove so the yard is less inviting.

How long does opossum trapping take?

Trapping runs for a 10-day period. No one can promise an animal walks into a trap, so if it needs more time, we add weeks only with your OK.

Is there a warranty on the sealing?

Yes. The entry points we repair and seal carry a 1-year warranty.
