Opossums have a long body and pointed snout. Their hair is coarse and may be gray, reddish or black with white tips. The face is pinkish white and the nose is pink. Ears are large and hairless. They are most active at night and are good climbers. They can be found in trees and may find their way into attic spaces to raise their families. Opossums can eat a variety of different foods and have fifty strong teeth that they may display when defending themselves.
Their bites are painful, and so they are best left to a professional removal service if they become a problem. Opossums may play “possum” when threatened; that is, they fall over and play dead to fool their enemies. They form pair bonds only for the purpose of mating. When the young are born, they are carried in pouches on the opossum’s body in the early phases. Opossums can make themselves at home in urban areas as well as in woodlands or rural areas.

Any outdoor animals can get and transmit rabies. However, opossums rarely carry rabies because of their low body temperature, which ranges between 94 to 97 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if you notice an opossum that is behaving strangely, you should avoid contact with the animal and call the animal removal professionals at Critter Ridder to remove it from your premises immediately as this could be a sign of disease or infection!

Separate your pets from the room the opossum is in. Opossums are not outwardly aggressive and will play dead in some situations, but you do not want your pets to add extra hazards to the situation.
Open the doors in your home to provide an escape route for the opossum. You will need to create a safe and direct way for the animal to escape your home to help them feel comfortable enough to do so.
Close all the blinds on the windows. Trapped and scared animals will try to escape to areas where there is light. Closing blinds will help eliminate windows as a possible escape option for the opossum.
Give the opossum space. Staying in the same room with the animal will stress it out, which can delay the opossum from making the choice to move on outside. Making it feel safe and comfortable is best.
Do not do something you are uncomfortable with. Opossums can bite and become aggressive when in stressful situations. If you are not comfortable with the situation, do not risk harming yourself or the animal and call Critter Ridder in Austin for help.

A good animal removal service will avoid removal techniques that are inhumane and harmful to animals. Light, noise, and hormone compounds can be used to induce the opossum to leave the premises. The hormone compounds help to remove opossums with their families so that they can be relocated elsewhere. These techniques preserve wildlife while eliminating the problem of property destruction and interaction with pets. Critter Ridder uses these techniques to humanely remove opossums from populated areas and take them to uninhabited areas where their presence will not be a problem. Call our team today for more information about our humane animal removal processes!
