HOW TO SPOT OPOSSUM ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Opossums might be elusive, but knowing how to spot their presence is key to managing them effectively. Keep an eye out for these clear signs:

1. Distinctive Behaviors

Stay alert for noises like rustling in the night or the clatter of overturned trash bins. These are telltale signs that opossums might be foraging nearby.

2. Visible Damage

Check for signs of disruption like shredded ductwork or insulation in your attic, or disturbances in your garden. These damages often point to opossum nesting or foraging activities.

3. Tracks and Trails

Keep an eye out for footprints featuring opposable thumbs on the rear feet, and look for droppings around your property or in muddy areas. These can indicate regular pathways or visitation spots of opossums.

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
