Getting Rid of Possums

Similar to raccoons, the biggest risk of having a possum on your property is the potential of rabies exposure. Fortunately, possums are frightened of humans, and should avoid direct interaction if at all possible. If you have a garden in your yard, possums may also eat the fruits and vegetables you’ve worked so hard to grow.

Keeping possums out of your attic or under your porch is a matter of making your property less attractive to these creatures. Remove any shelter that they may take advantage of, including the area under your porch. You should also remove debris like leaves and tree branches, both of which possums may use for shelter.

Once possums have found their way into your home, the best way to get rid of them is by hiring a wildlife control company to set traps.
