Opossum Removal

Opossums are most known for their rat like appearance of their long slinder snout, pointy ears, and hairless tail. Opossums have white to shaded gray fur, and have the most teeth of any mammal at 50. They can weigh up to 10 – 20 lbs. Opossums are found throughout the United States, and are even problems internationally. Opossums are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal foods, and are opportunistic feeders. Mating begins December – June, dependent on geographical area, with 5 – 20 young being born starting in March. Opossums are nocturnal, but in a residential setting can make a daytime appearance if food is readily available.
