Opossum Removal for Maine homes and businesses

We handle opossum removal throughout Maine. Opossums cleared from attics, crawl spaces and under decks, with the access route closed off. You get photographs of what we found and a written scope before anything starts.

Older properties in Maine tend to have several entry points rather than one. Soffit returns, ridge vents, fascia gaps and chimney flashing all fail slowly, and animals find the failures long before people do.

Maine calls concentrate on squirrels, mice and bats entering older homes as cold sets in, plus skunks denning under sheds and porches.

Call (276) 319-2391 or request an inspection and we will book a window that works.

Opossum Removal in Maine: frequently asked questions

Are opossums dangerous?
Not especially. They are slow, non-aggressive and they eat ticks. The problems they cause are mess, parasites and the damage done getting in.
How do I know it is an opossum?
Slow, heavy movement rather than fast scurrying, often with hissing or clicking. Droppings are noticeably large for the size of the animal.
Can you remove one from a crawl space in Maine?
Yes, and we screen the crawl space vents and skirting afterwards so it does not simply walk back in.
What about young?
Opossums carry young on the back, so the family is usually removed together and relocated as a group.
Do they carry fleas?
Frequently, which is why parasite treatment is often recommended after a removal from a crawl space or under a porch.
How much is opossum removal in Maine?
Driven by access and how much sealing the crawl space needs. Flat quote in writing after inspection.
Do you seal the entry point or just remove the animal?
We seal it. Removal alone leaves an open door, and something else finds it within weeks. Exclusion is quoted as part of the job, not sold to you afterwards.
Do you remove animals humanely?
Wherever the species and season allow, yes. Live capture and one-way exclusion doors are the default. We do not seal young inside a structure, which is why timing matters for bats and spring litters.
