Oppossum Removal
Fun fact: Opossums live in North America, while possums live in Australia and other countries. Both wildlife are marsupials, but possums are more closely related to kangaroos. As you may know, opossums have an interesting defense mechanism. Playing dead, or “playing possum,” might work in the wild but if there’s an opossum in your home, you’re more than likely going to hear it. A possible sign that there is an opossum in your attic is thumping sounds coming from above the ceiling. Opossums are normally louder than rats and mice, but not as loud as raccoons. You may also hear hissing. A roof inspection will often reveal spaces big enough for an opossum to fit through. While opossums may appear tame and quiet, they are still wild and may carry a variety of dangerous diseases. When dealing with these mammals, call professionals for opossum removal and relocate them for your safety and for the wildlife.
