How To Get Rid of Possums Fast

Safe & Effective Removal of Possums

Whether you hire us or want to do it yourself, the removal of possums usually takes a few days. It takes time to set up traps. And you want to make sure the possums are not nearby before doing so, otherwise they will spot the trap and rendering it ineffective. When we handle a possum removal, we know exactly what to look for and what to do, which is why our possum control is fast. We will inspect the possums, the size of your property, and how much work is necessary in order to properly get rid of the things that these possums to your home in the first place. It is not a quick process in general, but with our expertise we make it quick.

In order to properly catch and remove possums, one must pay close attention to where the possums are likely hiding. If done correctly, this removal can be complete over the course of a couple of days. Once they are out, exclusion will keep them out. However, there is still a chance that one might occasionally pop back in your yard, but that should be okay if we do our job properly.

We will use whatever methods work best for a particular situation. We can mix and match the below methods depending on the scenario. Here are the ways in which we will control and remove the possum population from your yard.

Trapping

Using a trap and bait to capture a possum is a common technique we use. But this technique may take a few days waiting for the possum to enter the trap. Once we catch the possum, we will let it go is a safe and secure area.

Habitat Management

Possums look for food in fruits, vegetables, animal carcasses and small animals. They also want a protected spot where they can build a small makeshift den to eat. If you have any of these potential foods or spots in your yard, a possum may be more likely to call it home. However, by using the habitat management method to remove the possum, we will take away these options so they are no longer enticed to live on your yard.

Repelling

The control method of repelling utilizes scents and tastes that possums find repulsive. When we are aiming to repel possums, we will need to frequently apply the repellents in order for them to remain away. And keep using the repellents until there are no signs of them. One of the great things about using repellents is that they start immediately. There is no waiting around. The repellents start working right away to keep the possums away. There are natural and chemical repellents that can be used alongside other control techniques for more effective control.

Exclusion

With exclusion method, you prevent possums from entering the homes in the first place. We do this by physically sealing any openings that they can use to get in. Of course, this only works until after the possums are removed. But is great at keeping them away once the removal is complete.
