Opossum Removal and the Townsend area

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 Townsend 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.

Birds nesting in the dryer vent every spring. They cleared it and screened it, and that was that.
Sonia V. — Townsend, DE
Roaches in the kitchen after we moved in. First treatment knocked it way down, and the follow-up finished it. It's been six months with nothing.
