Safe & Humane Opossum Removal and Control Solutions

Opossums are nocturnal animals that often go unnoticed until they’ve made themselves at home on your property. While they may seem relatively harmless, opossums can create major issues for homeowners. They often nest under decks, sheds, and porches, causing damage while leaving behind droppings that may spread disease. In some cases, opossums may also raid garbage bins, damage landscaping, or even take shelter inside attics and crawl spaces. Their presence can also attract other pests, increasing the risks to your property and health.

Regional Wildlife Services provides humane opossum assessment and exclusion across Burlington, Oakville, Niagara and surrounding areas. We inspect likely den sites and entry points, explain the available options, and provide a scope for recommended repairs or prevention.

The appropriate method depends on where the animal is located and whether dependent young may be present. We use humane, site-specific removal or exclusion methods, then recommend repairs, barriers, cleanup or attractant reduction where needed. Any capture and release must follow Ontario wildlife rules.

If you see an opossum around the property, contact us for an assessment. We can explain humane removal options, entry-point repairs and prevention measures appropriate to the site.
