Opossum Attic & Wall Removal in Houston
If you are hearing slow scratching at night, seeing torn insulation, finding droppings in the attic, or waking up to an opossum getting into trash, pet food, crawlspace areas, or under the deck, you may have a nuisance wildlife problem. Houston homes deal with opossum activity around rooflines, crawlspaces, garages, sheds, chimneys, decks, fences, and trash areas where shelter and easy food sources come together.
On Point Pest and Environmental Services provides opossum removal, humane exclusion, attic-focused wildlife control, and long-term entry point sealing for residential and commercial properties in Houston. Our process is built to do more than catch the animal. We inspect the structure, identify how the opossum is getting in, check for nesting areas and young when present, address the active wildlife issue, and seal vulnerable access points so the problem won’t return.
Whether you need opossum removal in Houston, help with a possum in the attic, or a clear plan to stop repeat nuisance wildlife entry around your home, garage, shed, deck, crawlspace, or business, the first step is a professional opossum removal inspection.
Our Proven Opossum Removal Process
We follow a clear humane opossum exclusion process designed to solve the immediate problem and help prevent future infestations.
Free Opossum Inspection
Every service starts with a professional inspection. We check for wildlife activity, entry points, nesting areas, damage, droppings, odors, and the conditions that may be attracting opossums or other nuisance animals to the property.
Humane Opossum Removal
We use a responsible, property-specific approach designed to address the active opossum problem while accounting for the structure, access points, location of the animal, and whether young may be present.
Wildlife & Opossum Exclusion
Long-term protection matters. We seal entry points and recommend exclusion solutions designed to help stop opossums and other wildlife from getting back inside.
Warranty Guarantee
We stand by our work with warranty coverage on pest control and wildlife exclusion services.
Houston Opossum Control FAQs
Have questions about opossum removal, possum droppings, opossums in the attic, humane wildlife service, dead animal removal, or exclusion work in Houston? These FAQs cover common signs of opossum activity, attic and health questions, Texas wildlife rules, animal control questions, cost, and what to expect from professional opossum removal and exclusion.
For Houston-area homes, opossum removal commonly averages $150 to $500 for a basic removal or trapping job. A simple outdoor possum trapper call under a shed, deck, porch, or fence line often falls closer to $150 to $350. If the opossum is inside an attic, wall, chimney, crawlspace, or hard-to-reach void, the project can average $500 to $1,500+ when multiple visits, exclusion sealing, odor control, attic cleanup, or damage repair are needed. The more involved the access, damage, cleanup, and exclusion work, the higher the cost. On Point starts with a free inspection so we can price the job based on the real entry points, animal activity, access, and cleanup needs.
Yes. Attic opossum removal is one of the nuisance wildlife calls we handle. We inspect the roofline, vents, soffits, gable areas, attic access, insulation, droppings, nesting signs, and any opening the animal may be using. Then we remove the active animal and close the entry points so the same problem does not keep coming back.
Common signs include scratching, slow thumping, rustling at night, a musky smell, droppings, disturbed insulation, nesting material, stains, and damage around vents, soffits, fascia, chimney gaps, crawlspace openings, or garage edges. Opossums are usually more active at night, so homeowners often hear them after the house gets quiet.
Do not block the opening before the animal is removed. Sealing the hole too early can trap the opossum inside and create odor, damage, scratching, or a dead animal problem. The right move is a full inspection, humane removal, cleanup if needed, and exclusion after the animal is out.
Yes. Opossums are classified as fur-bearing animals in Texas, and nuisance fur-bearing animals may be taken when they are causing property damage. Relocation is not a casual DIY step. Anyone trapping and relocating nuisance furbearers needs authorization from Texas Parks and Wildlife and permission from the property owner where the animal would be released. On Point follows Texas wildlife rules and focuses on safe removal, exclusion, and prevention.
For standard nuisance wildlife on private property, Houston BARC generally directs residents to a licensed pest control or wildlife removal company. If there is a possible rabies exposure, contact your medical doctor right away. For opossums in an attic, wall, crawlspace, garage, shed, or under a deck, On Point can inspect, remove, clean up when needed, and close off entry points.
Opossum droppings, urine, nesting material, and odor can contaminate attic insulation, crawlspaces, garage areas, and wall voids. Avoid touching waste or handling the animal yourself. After removal, On Point can inspect the affected area and recommend sanitation, deodorizing, or attic remediation when needed.
Opossum exclusion means closing and reinforcing the openings opossums use to enter a structure. That may include soffits, vents, roof returns, crawlspace gaps, deck openings, shed gaps, foundation openings, chimney gaps, and construction gaps. Removal gets the animal out. Exclusion helps keep the next one from moving in.
Opossums are usually defensive rather than aggressive, but they are still wild animals. They may bite or scratch if cornered, and they can bring fleas, ticks, mites, droppings, urine, odor, and nesting material into a home. Keep kids and pets away from the animal and call a professional if one is inside or around your structure.
Yes. On Point offers same-day opossum inspections in Houston when schedule availability allows. If you hear scratching, see droppings, smell odor, or watch an opossum enter the attic, call us for an inspection, removal plan, and exclusion recommendations.
