- Remove the animal and any dependent young
- Seal the entry point with material that holds up to repeated pressure
- Clean and treat the den area where droppings have accumulated
Opossum Removal and the Covington area
Limestone caves and old housing stock make bat colonies unusually common. That background matters for opossum removal specifically, because the timing of treatment and the entry points that need attention in Covington, KY are shaped by local conditions rather than a national template.

Questions about opossum removal
Are opossums actually harmful?
They are less destructive than raccoons and eat large numbers of ticks and insects. The problem is the mess and odor when they den inside a structure, not aggression.
Is an opossum playing dead really unconscious?
It is an involuntary reaction, not an act. The animal is genuinely unresponsive and can stay that way for a long stretch, which is why it should not be assumed dead and moved.
Will an opossum leave on its own?
Opossums move between den sites more than raccoons, but they will keep using an open entry point. If the opening stays, something will use it.
From Covington customers
Opossum in the crawlspace. Out the same day, and they showed me photos of the entry since I wasn't going to crawl under there myself.
Bill C. — Covington, KY
Wasp nest right above the front door and my son is allergic. Came out the same afternoon and dealt with it.
Jamal B. — Covington, KY
Fleas that kept coming back after the first treatment. They'd already told me that would happen and why, so the follow-up visit was expected, not a surprise charge.
