Professional Opossum Removal & Wildlife Control Services

Safe, Humane, and Effective Opossum Trapping & Exclusion

Opossums are nocturnal scavengers that frequently invade attics, crawl spaces, garages, and sheds, searching for food and shelter. While they are generally non-aggressive, opossums can spread diseases, contaminate property, and create foul odors. Palmetto Wildlife Extractors provides expert opossum removal and exclusion services across South Carolina and North Carolina to keep your property pest-free.

The Risks of Opossum Infestations

Why Opossum Removal is Essential

While opossums help control insect populations, they can become a problem when they:

  • Raid trash cans and pet food, making a mess around your home.
  • Carry diseases such as leptospirosis, tuberculosis, and parasites like fleas and ticks.
  • Nest in attics, basements, and crawl spaces, causing property damage.
  • Play dead when threatened, making removal difficult for homeowners.

Opossums are protected wildlife, so proper handling and relocation must be performed by professionals.
