Infamous for playing dead when panicked, opossums may seem harmless, but this is far from the truth. Not only can they attack if truly provoked, they also can possibly carry a number of diseases or mites that can pose a potential health threat to you or your loved ones.
Furthermore, having opossums on your property can also end up costing you money. As scavengers, opossums can terrorize your garden by consuming any fruits and vegetables that you may be growing. You can also expect them to dig through your trash or eat up all of your pet’s food. All of these scenarios end in the animal leaving an unappealing trail of waste and debris all-around your property resulting in costly and time-consuming clean-up.
Because they are most active at night, opossums are often hard to catch in action. However, there are a few telltale signs that you can look out for during the day to confirm you have an opossum problem.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to contact the Auburndale opossum removal professionals at Critter Control® of Polk County to remove the critters before your problems worsen
