Opossum Removal, Trapping, and Exclusion

Opossums—or possums—are marsupials that resemble large rats, though they are not rodents themselves. These animals often grow to the size of medium house cats, on average 2 to 3 feet long. Their full size depends on the specific species. Possums usually have gray fur, hairless ears, a long hairless tail, and a distinctive pointed face. They use their long tails to maintain balance. These nocturnal animals have impressive immune systems that can even fight off the venom from a rattlesnake.

Are opossums dangerous?

Opossums are not dangerous. They are quiet and, despite being blamed for overturning trash cans, are typically opportunists that will eat whatever is leftover. Even their aggressive hissing is a bluff; when frightened, they play dead.

In fact, opossums may even benefit gardens when they eat snails, slugs, insects, and small rodents. Their bad reputation comes on the heels of their unattractive features more than anything else.
