Opossums are scavengers, and they appreciate a reliable food source and a nice place to sleep. While you can’t exactly blame them, you don’t want them to sleep at your house.

The Benefits of Partnering With an Expert Possum Exterminator
You cannot remove an opossum on your own, despite what you may have heard. Opossums can carry various diseases, such as leptospirosis, tuberculosis, and even salmonella, which can pose serious health threats to humans and pets alike. Moreover, they often have fleas and ticks, leading to secondary infestations that can affect your entire household. DIY removal attempts not only expose you to these health risks but also often fall short of addressing the root cause of the infestation. Professional intervention is crucial for a comprehensive solution.

When it comes to expert opossum control in Dallas-Fort Worth and NY/CT, leave it to the professionals at Legacy Rodent Control to rid you of your opossum problem. At Legacy Rodent Control, we offer a possum removal service that prioritizes both the safety of your family and the humane treatment of the animals.

This approach not only solves the immediate problem but also implements preventative measures to ensure opossums do not return.

Opossum Infestation

When opossums infest your attic, they typically do not cause as much damage as rats and other rodents. However, opossums do bring along a host of other problems by spreading disease through their feces. They also bring along fleas, which infest your family pet and bite humans.

Legacy Rodent Control is well-versed in the humane removal of opossums and is also equipped to treat flea infestations that are left behind.

Signs of an Infestation:

· Seeing an opossum or its droppings in or near your property
· Torn open trash bags or knocked-over garbage cans
· Holes in your yard
· Noises in your attic
· Damage to insulation, ducts, or wooden structures

Like many unwanted pests, opossums seek shelter during the winter. Don’t let them make your home their shelter this winter. Consult with Legacy Rodent Control on tips to prevent opossum infestation.

Opossums carry diseases that impact the health of your home and family. Calling Legacy Rodent Control will begin the process of protecting your home and health. Legacy Rodent Control will also treat your home for secondary infestations like fleas and parasites known to travel on opossums.

Keeping Pests Out—For Good!
Preventing opossum infestations requires a proactive approach. Start by securing potential food sources; ensure all trash is kept in sealed containers and inaccessible to these scavengers. Pet food should be stored indoors, and any fallen fruit from trees should be promptly cleared. Regular maintenance of your property, such as sealing holes and gaps in your attic or under your home, can be effective in preventing opossums from finding shelter. Additionally, trimming back tree branches that offer access to your roof can deter these agile climbers. Legacy Rodent Control’s opossum control strategy will not only remove these critters from your home but also protect your property from future invasions. By addressing structural vulnerabilities and educating homeowners on prevention tactics, we help maintain a pest-free environment in the long term.
