Identify Pest: Opossum Infestations and Opossum Problems
Opossum problems are common throughout the New York area, and not just in Rural and Suburban areas. All boroughs of New York City have Opossums, too.
Opossums are Marsupials weigh between about 12 to 14 pounds and are 15 to 20 inches long, from nose to tail. They have light grey fur, a long hairless tail, pointed snouts, with a mouth containing 50 very sharp teeth. In the wild, Opossums are opportunistic feeders but tend to eat mostly meat like Insects, Worms, Bird eggs, Voles, Moles, or dead animal carcasses. Opossums usually have 3 or 4 dens, in hollow logs or trees, old Squirrel nests, rock crevices, brush heaps, and sometimes, openings in your home.
Opossum problems start if they get inside your property. Opossums present a series of health risks caused by their urine, feces, and a foul fluid they excrete from their rear. Opossums carry a host of diseases harmful to people and pets, like Leptospirosis, TB (Tuberculosis), Rabies, Relapsing Fever, Tularemia, Toxoplasmosis, and Trichomoniasis. They can be fierce fighters, able to deliver an extremely painful bite that will require a visit to the hospital not only to treat the physical bite but the host of diseases that they carry.
Getting rid of Opossum problems usually requires trapping and removal. Unless you know what you are doing, it is a job best left to professionals.

Rick T. Glen Cove, NY Read All ReviewsFirst time used it. Dealt with mice, bees and ants. Very good experience. The technician was patient and explains to me everything he did.
Chao C. Manhasset, NY Read All ReviewsWe have had a contract with Knockout Pest Control for 9 years. They have been highly responsive when we have needed them. It's worth the money.

Dame F. Uniondale, NY Read All ReviewsI have been using Knockout Pest Control for almost one year now. They are consistently knowledgeable, on time, and overall provide excellent customer service. I appreciate the 30 minute advance call prior to a service visit immensely given our busy schedules. They will return until the issue is resolved or prophylactically as requested. I highly recommend this company.
