Possums are nocturnal animals; the only way you\u2019ll know they\u2019re around is via the signs they leave behind. Some of the common tell-tale signs that a possum might be lurking around your property include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scattered trash<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Late-night activity in the garden<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unpleasant odors<\/span><\/li><li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Missing food<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, notice that these signs are very much alike to the signs that several other nuisance wildlife leaves behind. It\u2019s easier to confuse opossums with other wildlife squatters. Even if you see them in daylight, they can easily be mistaken for domestic cats.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As such, we at Wilkins Wildlife provide accurate identification of the trespasser. After verifying, we use evidence tracking to determine its exact location before we devise an effective possum removal strategy.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4fc8c93b\" data-id=\"4fc8c93b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1109f3d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1109f3d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Humane Trapping<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21dd4e1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21dd4e1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the heart of\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wilkinswildlifebedbug911.com\/services\/wildlife-control-service\/\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">opossums removal &amp; control<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> services is Wilkins Wildlife&#8217;s commitment to abiding by the laws protecting wildlife.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Possums&#8217; consumption of small animals and remains is crucial in the balance of food webs. They also help manage pests and mitigate tick populations.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As such, most states have legal provisions protecting them.

We remove the animals we entrapped and relocate them to the non-habitation area.<\/span><\/p><p>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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-293634ca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"293634ca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5965dda6\" data-id=\"5965dda6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dc82b67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6dc82b67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Choose Us<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3395082a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3395082a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We not only eliminate opossums but also intend to keep them out permanently.
