Opossum Removal Services

At the heart of opossums removal & control services is Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions Inc.’s commitment to abiding by the laws protecting wildlife.

Possums’ consumption of small animals and remains is crucial in the balance of food webs. They also help manage pests and mitigate tick populations.

As such, most states have legal provisions protecting them. In some states, they euthanize a possum and immediately dispose of its carcass after trapping them.

Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions Inc., however, prides itself on its humane animal trapping and pest removal strategy. We remove the animals we entrapped and relocate them to the non-habitation area.

When trapping an opossum, the situation must be understood completely. First, is there a mother and babies, and if so, how many? Second, a large steel cage will be used to trap it in a shady area so that, once trapped, the opossum does not suffer in the hot sun. Third, we bait the trap with something they prefer to eat. Fourth we periodically check the trap. Lastly, when the opossum is in the steel cage, we relocate it.
