While opossums are not considered harmful to humans until confronted, their presence and droppings in your home will emit a foul odor and may transmit disease and contaminants. As soon as you notice any evidence of a rodent or mammal infestation in your home, contact a professional wildlife removal service. Varment Guard Wildlife Services has been providing professional wildlife identification, removal, restoration, and exclusion services to the Fort Wayne community for over 20 years.
Opossums are regarded a nuisance animal since they are opportunistic and will feed on food left out in human houses, sheds, and decks to survive. An opossum rummaging through your garbage can, potentially causing a mess, is not uncommon. Opossums are frequently discovered eating dead animals and dying of sickness, hence dead animal extractions are common. Despite this, due to their low body temperature, opossums are not known to be rabies carriers.
