Opossum Control and Removal in Dallas, Texas
The Rodent Control Experts ™
DON’T SHARE YOUR DALLAS HOME WITH AN OPOSSUM—REMOVE IT
Opossums are very common in the Dallas area and are frequently confused for massive rodents, though they are actually more closely related to koalas than rats. A common misconception about these shy animals is that their fear of humans leads them to avoid urban areas. Opossums are very comfortable around the conveniences of ready-made shelter and food provided by residential homes, even if they evade contact personally. They eat everything and anything, which is why it is important to keep a lock on your trash bins and avoid keeping pet food outside. Opossums are one of the most common wildlife species found in residential attics and crawlspaces. They are the size of a large cat, have gray hair and a long, scaly tail.
Opossums are not social animals, but the damage caused by a single one of these omnivorous, nocturnal animals is far-reaching. They ruin lawns when digging for food, take up residence in attics where they gather leaves and debris to create nests, steal food and overturn garbage in search of anything edible. The most dangerous factor in having an opossum in proximity is the variety of parasites they carry. They spread fleas, mites and parasites like wildfire through residences and to pets, sometimes causing severe allergic reactions in humans and other animals. In order to ensure the contaminated home has been properly cleared of all contamination, homeowners often have to replace insulation in the entire residence.
