OPOSSUM REMOVAL EXPERTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA
There are several indications that an opossum may be active at your home. These include finding droppings, tracks, and damage to your garden or trash cans. You may also hear scratching or rustling noises in your attic at night. Once opossums are inside your attic, they can cause significant damage to your property by chewing wires, insulation, and other materials. They can also leave behind droppings and urine, which can lead to unpleasant odors and potential health hazards.
If you suspect an opossum is present, it is important to get professional help to safely remove it from your property. Our experienced team will inspect your property for signs of activity, provide effective solutions to remove any infestations, and prevent them from breaking into your home again.

Opossum Inspection
A Wildlife Specialist will quickly and humanely rid of opossums in your home. Our expert technician will inspect and identify active opossum areas throughout your property to determine the best locations for trap placement and course of action.
​
During our inspection, our Wildlife Specialist will inspect the exterior and interior of your home. Exterior areas include your roof and crawlspace. Interior inspection includes the attic, where our Specialist will look for fecal matter, feet print, burrowing, nesting areas and any chewing damage.
​
Most often we place traps in areas of activity; however, if we identify opossums are living inside of your home, we will use our exclusive removal method by using repellants, deterrents, monitoring devices to evict them. In the event that there is no attic in your home, our removal process allows us to remove opossums with the use of one-way door traps.
Opossum Proofing/Exclusion
One of the most important parts of opossum control is proofing your home by preventing entry through exclusion repairs.
Our opossum control experts utilize Integrated Wildlife Control Management techniques and hi-tech equipment, this process allows us to quickly identify active points of entry, furthermore, we will identify any other potential area(s) of entry around your home that might be appealing to them.
​
Opossums have sharp teeth including 4 canines and can gnaw through wood, sheetrock, screens, plastics and even some materials made out of metal. They also have the ability to climb, hang by their tail and use their hands to break in. By securing all possible points of entry, we can prevent opossums from breaking into your property.
Some of the most common points of entry we secure include roof vents, soffit vents, roof returns and crawl vents just to name a few. For long term solutions and to professionally secure your home, we use a combination of materials including hardware cloth, concrete, stainless steel braces and heavy duty gauge metal.
At SWAT Pest Squad, we are truly the experts at providing professional, high quality, detailed exclusion work that securely protects your property from wildlife entry.
Attic Restoration and Sanitation
Opossums in home attics, can create a variety of hazards and extensive damages. They can urinate on insulation, defecate thought out your attic and sometimes chew on you A/C ductwork. Opossums often carry ectoparasites such as lice, mites, ticks, and fleas. After the removal of opossums, if left untreated, these ectoparasites can remain in your home even after the removal. If your attic insulation is soiled or damaged it will need to be replaced or restored.
At SWAT Pest Squad, our team of professionals are equipped to calculate existing insulation levels and remove and dispose of soiled insulation. Once damaged insulation is removed, we'll sanitize your attic by applying a combination of a disinfectant, sanitizer and virucide, restoring your attic to the clean state it was prior to the opossums moving in. Your new insulation will be installed as per recommendations by the U.S Department of Energy.
