Opossums may not be aggressive, but their presence under your home, shed, or in the attic can lead to serious hygiene issues and odor problems. These nocturnal scavengers are drawn to pet food, trash, and crawl spaces—and once they settle in, they don’t leave easily.
Wildlife Works provides professional opossum removal and exclusion services across Central Florida, with humane handling and thorough property restoration.
Common Opossum Issues in Florida Homes
We frequently remove opossums from:
Crawl spaces beneath mobile homes or pier-and-beam foundations
Under decks, porches, or sheds
Garages, basements, or storage buildings
Attics with easy roofline access
Yards with accessible pet food, compost, or garbage bins
Though opossums rarely attack, their droppings and nesting habits can lead to parasite infestations, strong odors, and even property damage.
Our Opossum Removal Services Include:
Inspection of crawl spaces, foundation vents, and entry points
Live trapping and safe relocation, following Florida guidelines
Exclusion repairs to prevent re-entry beneath structures or into attics
Sanitation and deodorization of nesting areas or waste buildup
Pet-safe recommendations for outdoor food storage and trash handling
Vent screening and deck barrier installation when needed
Our goal is not just to remove the animal—but to remove the opportunity for return.

Heavy animal sounds under floorboards at night
Strong, musty odor from under the home
Torn ductwork or insulation in crawl spaces
Droppings near access points or utility lines
