Family-Owned Possum Control for Your Austin Home

We provide wildlife removal for opossums sheltering beneath decks, inside garages, around sheds, or elsewhere in a home. A practical response addresses the immediate concern while considering the entry points and sheltered areas that may contribute to recurring activity.

Nighttime scratching, disturbed garbage, missing pet food, droppings, persistent odor, or repeated movement near one structure can signal more than a passing animal. We can help you determine what to do when wildlife activity begins affecting your property.

Call (512) 812-9311 to request possum control and tell us where you’ve seen or heard the animal.

When a Possum Sighting Calls for Professional Attention

An opossum crossing the yard at night may simply be moving through the area. Professional attention may be appropriate when one repeatedly returns, enters an occupied space, shelters beneath a structure, or leaves droppings and odor behind.

Don’t corner or handle the animal. If it appears sick, injured, trapped, or unusually disoriented, contact Austin Animal Services or a wildlife rescue resource for direction rather than attempting to remove it yourself.

Personalized Wildlife Service for Austin Homeowners

As a family-owned and operated business, we provide wildlife trapping and exclusion services for opossums. We offer personalized service and honest communication because each property may have different access points, attractants, and shelter conditions.

A to Z Pest Control serves homeowners across Austin and surrounding areas in Travis, Williamson, and Bell Counties. Because we handle pest and wildlife concerns from A to Z, we can consider opossum activity alongside the broader conditions around your home.

Signs an Opossum May Be Sheltering on Your Property

Opossums are nocturnal scavengers commonly encountered in Central Texas. Garbage, birdseed, fallen fruit, compost, and outdoor pet food may draw them into a yard, while decks, porches, and sheds can provide cover.

Signs worth checking include:

Repeated nighttime activity: An animal follows the same path or returns to one area of the property.
Noises inside a structure: Scratching or rustling comes from an attic, garage, crawlspace, or wall void.
Evidence near an opening: Droppings, odor, damaged screening, or disturbed soil appear near a possible entry point.
Disturbed food sources: Garbage, compost, birdseed, fallen fruit, or pet food is scattered or missing.

How Removal, Exclusion, & Prevention Work Together

Effective control may involve three separate concerns: the animal’s current location, the route it used, and the conditions attracting wildlife.

Each part of a practical response has a different purpose:

Removal: Addresses an opossum currently living beneath or inside a structure.
Wildlife exclusion: Focuses on openings or pathways that may provide access to attics, crawlspaces, garages, decks, or sheds.
Prevention: Reduces accessible food, cover, and shelter around the property.

We offer wildlife trapping and exclusion services for opossums. Openings should be screened or repaired only after confirming that no animal or young remain inside.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department rules may restrict how nuisance fur-bearing animals are handled. Homeowners shouldn’t assume that do-it-yourself live trapping or relocation is unrestricted, especially when young animals may be present.

How to Prepare for a Possum Control Visit

You don’t need to approach the animal or enter a confined space before requesting service. Observe from a safe distance and note any conditions that may help identify where the activity is concentrated.

Useful details to gather include:

The location and approximate time of each sighting
Scratching, rustling, odors, droppings, or damaged screening
Visible gaps near the roofline, foundation, garage, deck, or shed
Dense vegetation, stored materials, open garbage, or outdoor pet food nearby
Any indication that young opossums may be present

Keep access to the affected area clear when practical, but don’t seal a suspected opening before the animal’s presence has been assessed. Photos taken from a safe distance may also document entry points or signs that aren’t consistently visible.

Protecting People & Pets Around Wildlife

Keep children and pets away from the animal. Don’t feed, corner, handle, or attempt to move it with bare hands. Bring pet food indoors when practical, and secure garbage or other food sources that may be drawing wildlife closer to the home.

Austin Animal Services notes that opossums rarely contract rabies. Even so, sick, injured, trapped, or unusually behaving wildlife should be reported to the appropriate local animal or wildlife authority for direction.

What to Tell Us When You Request Service

Let us know whether the animal was passing through the yard, returning repeatedly, or sheltering inside or beneath a structure. Include any noises, odors, droppings, visible openings, or contact with people and pets.

If the possum appears trapped, injured, or accompanied by young, mention that before service. These details help distinguish a routine outdoor sighting from a property intrusion or a situation that may require direction from a local animal or wildlife authority.

We found a tiny rattlesnake where the children play. Tony was here quickly, got the snake, and gave us peace knowing it's gone. We're so grateful, I definitely recommend using this company.

Tony went above and beyond
Tony went above and beyond to come save the day on the holiday to remove a possum from under our house that was ruining the holiday vibes and I can not thank him enough for saving the day. Highly recommend 10/10

He is so thorough and knowledgeable.
Love the tech. He is so thorough and knowledgeable. Have not seen any traces of mice inside my residence since he set traps and patiently sealed all their entrances and living a rural area is a real challenge. The mice were everywhere, even in my bed while I slept!!! And THE KITCHEN too. Totally disgusting.
