If you have opossums on your property, even though these critters won’t hurt you, they may become a nuisance. When you contact a company that performs Opossum Removal in Columbus OH, a professional will humanely remove the nuisance animals for you. Below you’ll discover frequently asked questions about opossums on your property.
Q.) How will a Wildlife control service remove the opossums?
A.) After determining where the opossums frequently travel on your property, a professional will bait a trap and place it close to the determined area. Each day the trap will be checked by a professional who specializes in Opossum Removal in Columbus OH. When the opossums are caught in the trap, they’ll be relocated to a safe location.
Q.) What are some measures that can be taken to prevent opossums from coming back on the property?
A.) Opossums often crawl underneath decks or porches and to keep them away, you must block any entrances. Before securing any openings, make sure that you don’t trap any critters inside. If you have outside pets, don’t leave their food outside after dark because opossums will eat it and come back every night for more. Keep a secure lid on your outside trash can. Even though it’s unusual for an opossum to be able to knock over a trash can, if another animal pushes it over, the opossum will eat what’s on the ground.
Q.) Do opossums spread the rabies virus?
A.) If you surprise and scare an opossum, you’ll probably see the animal hiss and show a lot of teeth. This is the defensive mechanism of an opossum, along with playing dead, so it doesn’t mean that the animal is diseased. Opossums seldom carry rabies because they have a low body temperature and this prevents the rabies virus from staying alive. Although it’s very uncommon that you would ever get rabies from an opossum, if you want the animal removed from your property, call an expert who performs Opossum Removal in Columbus OH.
