Michigan Opossum Removal and Trapping Services

In Michigan Opossums are the only marsupial, meaning they have a pouch that they carry their young in. They have long prehensive tails which gives them another limb to use for hanging. Opossums are usually found under decks and in sheds. We sometimes find them in attics but that isn't generally the case here in Michigan. They need a decent size opening to enter into the attic.

Nuisance Problems: Opossums give off a strong odor and often times find places like your garage or under your deck to die. No one likes the smell of a decaying animal. They also get into dog food and annoy home owners pets. Opossums aren't known for biting, but will give off a hissing sound when close to them to make you aware of them. They will also "play opossum" if they feel threatened. Basically they make themselves look dead and can give off the odor of a decaying animal because they know that most predators are not scavengers and will not go after bad meat.

Problem Solvers: Trap and relocate is the best method. We actually find these animals the easiest to trap because they will eat anything so it doesn't take a lot of effort to get this critters into the trap.

Recent Opossum Removal Job/Stories in Michigan

Our most recent opossum removal call actually came from Beverly Hills, MI in the middle of the night. Home owner stated there was a opossum lying on the front porch and was not moving. She was afraid her dog would try to get it and did not want it to get any diseases. We got the call and went right out that night to remove the opossum and take it away.

If I do have a Opossum problem what would it cost me to get rid of them?

Opossum trapping is the best and really only method to get rid them. Charging for opossum trapping is much like trapping raccoons, squirrels, or skunks. We charge a set up fee/inspection to come out to your home to survey the property and strategically set traps. Depending on the location of your home you may expect to pay an inspection fee of $90-$125. Typically for opossums we charge a per animal cost or we may charge a per trip charge. per animal cost could be anywhere from $60-$100 depending on the placement of the traps and location of your property. Trip charges depend on the location of your property. This is the method we usually use for opossums. This cost is usually cheaper than the initial service call. At an added cost once the feral cats are trapped and removed we can also screen off decks or fill in holes to keep them from returning. For free detailed quote click on the free price quote button.
