Safe & Humane Wildlife Control to Protect Your Home & Property

Opossums may seem harmless, but when they invade homes, garages, or outbuildings, they can cause property damage, sanitation issues, and health risks. As nocturnal scavengers, opossums rummage through trash, dig up gardens, and nest under porches and sheds. They also carry parasites, spread bacteria, and attract other pests, making them a serious nuisance.

At Empire Pest & Wildlife, we provide effective and humane opossum removal services in Holland, MI, and across West Michigan. Our expert wildlife control solutions ensure safe removal, property protection, and long-term exclusion methods to keep opossums from returning.

Why Are Opossums Considered a Pest?

While opossums help control insect populations, their scavenging behavior and nesting habits make them a problematic pest when they move too close to homes and businesses.

🏠 Property Damage & Structural Risks

  • Opossums tear through garbage, compost bins, and pet food containers.
  • They burrow under decks, porches, sheds, and mobile homes, leading to foundation erosion.
  • Their droppings and urine cause foul odors and attract flies and bacteria.

🦠 Health Risks & Disease Transmission

  • Opossums carry fleas, ticks, and mites, which can spread to pets and humans.
  • They may transmit leptospirosis, salmonella, and other bacterial infections.
  • Their presence attracts predators like foxes, coyotes, and raccoons.

🐶 Threat to Pets & Livestock

  • Opossums can attack small animals and poultry when searching for food.
  • Their presence near dog and cat food bowls can lead to territorial conflicts.

If opossums are digging through your trash, nesting near your home, or causing property damage, Empire Pest & Wildlife provides expert removal and exclusion services.

Signs of an Opossum Infestation

Opossums are nocturnal and often go unnoticed until damage becomes apparent. Look for these warning signs:

Noises at Night: Scratching, hissing, or thumping sounds near attics, garages, or crawl spaces.
Trash Disturbance: Garbage cans knocked over, food scraps scattered.
Droppings & Urine Odor: Foul smells near porches, garages, or basements.
Nesting Material: Leaves, sticks, and shredded insulation near hidden spaces.
Visual Sightings: Opossums seen wandering near food sources, gardens, or backyards at dusk.

Since opossums breed rapidly, addressing an infestation early prevents long-term property damage.
