- 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 Fort Collins area
Rodents and bats move into attics as elevation temperatures drop in fall. That background matters for opossum removal specifically, because the timing of treatment and the entry points that need attention in Fort Collins, CO are shaped by local conditions rather than a national template.
Our Fort Collins coverage runs past the city limits into the surrounding communities across the Mountain West. If you are just outside and unsure whether you are in range, call and ask.
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 Fort Collins 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. — Fort Collins, CO
Bed bugs from a trip. Embarrassing to call about but they were completely matter-of-fact, gave me a prep list, and it was handled in two visits.
Chris D. — Fort Collins, CO
Had something in the attic for weeks and kept putting off calling. They found where it was getting in within about ten minutes, and it turned out to be a gap I'd walked past a hundred times. Sealed it the same visit.
