Opossums forage in flower beds and hide under sheds. We install underground barriers and seal entry points to keep them from nesting or digging around your property.

What to Know About Opossums in Allen, Texas

Opossums are North America’s only native marsupial and are generally harmless—but their presence around Allen homes can still be unsettling. Often active at night, they may rummage through trash, take shelter under porches, or even nest in attics if access is available.

While they help control pests like insects and ticks, opossums can create messes, carry parasites, and occasionally hiss or appear aggressive when threatened. Their climbing and scavenging abilities make Allen’s neighborhoods ideal places for hiding and feeding.

At Critter Guardian, we help Allen homeowners understand opossum behavior and secure their homes to prevent future encounters. Education is the first step—followed by safe, humane removal when necessary.

Our 3-Step Opossum Trapping & Removal Process in Allen

Step 1: Identify Entry Points

We inspect Allen homes for signs of opossum activity in attics, crawlspaces, and along the roofline. Evidence such as droppings, scratching noises, or damaged insulation helps us locate nesting areas and entry points.

Find Access & Nests

Step 2: Humane Removal

We use humane trapping or one-way exclusion methods to safely remove opossums without harm. Each approach is tailored to the specific conditions of your Allen property.

Safe Extraction

Step 3: Exclude & Sanitize

Once the opossums are removed, we permanently seal entry points to prevent re-entry. Attic sanitation services are available to remove droppings, odors, and contamination left behind.

Opossum Activity Inspections in Allen, Texas

Hearing noises in the attic or spotting an opossum in your yard? Our expert inspections help Allen homeowners identify entry points and prevent future issues.

Signs of Opossums & What to Look For

  • Nighttime Noises: Loud thumping or scratching in walls or attic at night.
  • Opossum Sightings: Spotted wandering in yards, especially near trash or pet food.
  • Strong Odor: Musky or foul smell from nesting or droppings in enclosed spaces.
  • Droppings: Large, tapered droppings left near nesting or feeding areas.
  • Damage: Torn insulation, chewed ducts, or urine stains in the attic.

Opossums are excellent climbers and can enter attics or crawlspaces through roof gaps, soffit openings, and vents. They may carry fleas, mites, and diseases. Professional removal is the safest way to resolve a potential opossum problem.

How to Keep Opossums Out of Your Home

Prevent opossums from making your Allen property their home with these simple steps:

  • Secure trash bins: Use tight-fitting lids to contain odors.
  • Bring pet food indoors: Especially at night when opossums are most active.
  • Seal entry points: Cover attic vents and close gaps along the roofline.
  • Trim tree limbs: Keep branches away from your roof to reduce access.
  • Remove shelter: Clear out woodpiles, brush, and low decks where opossums may nest.

Opossums are nocturnal scavengers and commonly look for shelter during colder months or when raising young in spring. Early action helps Allen homeowners avoid damage, odors, and contamination.
