What Damage Can Opossums Do to Your Home or Property?

Understanding the Risks with All City Animal Trapping

As the owner of All City Animal Trapping, I’ve seen firsthand the significant damage that opossums can cause to homes and properties. While these creatures may seem harmless, their presence can lead to various problems. Here’s what you need to know about the potential damage opossums can inflict:

Structural Damage

Digging and Burrowing

Skunks are known for their digging and burrowing habits, which can lead to:

  • Foundation Issues: Skunks often dig under foundations, patios, and decks, which can undermine the structural integrity of your home.

Damage to Lawns and Gardens: Their digging can create unsightly holes and damage landscaping, ruining your lawn and garden beds.

Contamination and Health Risks

Spray Defense Mechanism

One of the most well-known characteristics of skunks is their ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid as a defense mechanism. This can cause:

  • Persistent Odors: The smell can linger for weeks or even months, permeating your home, clothing, and furniture.
  • Health Concerns: The spray can cause temporary blindness and severe discomfort if it comes into contact with your eyes.

Garden and Landscaping Damage

Disease Transmission

Skunks can carry various diseases and parasites that pose health risks to humans and pets, including:

  • Rabies: Skunks are known carriers of rabies, which can be transmitted through bites or scratches.
  • Parasites: They can introduce fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, which can spread to pets and humans.

Detailed Property Assessment

Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your property. Our expert team will:

  • Identify opossum entry points.
  • Assess the extent of the infestation.
  • Locate nesting sites and areas of high activity.

We use state-of-the-art, humane traps to capture opossums. Our traps are designed to:

  • Minimize stress and harm to the opossums.
  • Ensure safe capture for removal.

Strategic Placement

Traps are strategically placed in areas with high opossum activity. We regularly monitor and check the traps to ensure timely removal.

  • Parasites: Rats can introduce fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, which can spread to pets and humans.

Contamination

Rats often contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and urine, which can lead to foodborne illnesses and unsanitary conditions.
