Opossum Removal Services in Central Florida

Relocating an Opossum

Unwelcome Guests Under Your Home or Deck?

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.

Relocating an Opossum

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.
