Opossum Removal in South Florida

Opossums are common South Florida nuisance visitors that den under decks and sheds, get into attics and garages, raid pet food and trash, and leave droppings and odor behind. Florida Wildlife Pros humanely traps and removes opossums across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, then seals the spaces that invited them in.

Although opossums are generally slow-moving and less destructive than raccoons, they still den in inconvenient places, foul garages and attics, and can bring fleas, ticks and parasites onto your property. They're also drawn in by the same things that attract other wildlife — accessible food, water and shelter — so an opossum problem is often a sign of conditions that will attract more animals.

We locate the animal's den and travel routes, humanely trap and remove it, and clean up the droppings and odor left behind. Because opossums squeeze into surprisingly small gaps under structures, our exclusion work focuses on sealing off the underside of decks, sheds and porches and closing attic and garage access points.

For homeowners, HOAs and commercial properties dealing with repeat visitors, we identify and remove the attractants — pet food, unsecured trash, harborage — that keep opossums coming back, so the fix actually holds.

Why Opossum Removal Isn't a DIY Job

It's tempting to try to handle a wildlife problem yourself, but opossum removal done wrong usually makes things worse — and in South Florida it can be genuinely dangerous or even illegal. The animal you're dealing with behaves in specific ways: where it dens and travels, what draws it in, and how it reacts when cornered. Get that wrong and you risk injury, an animal trapped and dying inside your walls, orphaned young, contamination, or a citation for mishandling a regulated species. Decades of hands-on South Florida experience is exactly what turns a risky guessing game into a fast, clean, permanent fix.
