Kemp Mill wildlife control tip of the month: Do you know why opossums die under houses?

Have you ever heard of little opossums/ possums little animals that have become common in sub-urban areas? These opportunistic animals are happy to eat pet food, scavenge garbage, live in the attic or dig holes under your house! They belong to family of marsupials and are almost the size of rats, but they are considered as one of the major marsupials. Their dietary habits and adaptability of reproductive systems help them in surviving in all kinds of environmental conditions. Thus, you can spot them in winters and summers too! They prefer to live in forests near streams and rivers and alongside farms or backyards for their regular supply of food.

These white creatures enter residential area in the search of food and water and sadly become target of predators. It is also believed that because they are good looking creatures they are often attacked by other animals. Opossums are very adaptable, but they are wild animals and thus you would hardly see anyone raising them as a pet. They are omnivores and can feed on snakes, mice, cockroaches, lizards and other animals/ reptiles too. Opossums can enter your house or under your house in many ways, they can dig a cave to make their home as they can find food easily in residential areas. they poop and pee in the same holes which will make your home stink like anything! Eventually they die if they are attached by predators or due to natural factors and then it becomes a problem to remove them from the premises.
• Since Opossums create habitats under the houses, they eat, breed and produce Kemp Mill pest control offspring which can be nuisance for residents and that is when people take evasive measures by poisoning the food which will be fed upon by these animals. Opossums generally scavenge the food from trash bins and die soon after eating this poisonous food.
• Residents also put some lethal traps during house renovations and make-overs to trap these Kemp Mill animal control creatures. They die because of lack of supply of food and water in these traps.
• Opossums can also die natural death as they too have a life cycle and if you just let them survive under your house they stay there until death approaches them!
• The main Kemp Mill exterminator predators of Opossums are fox, dog, eagle, cats and owls too and since these are nocturnal animals they are easily attacked.

Removing of dead Opossums is certainly not an easy Kemp Mill wildlife removal task! The smell of their dead body will linger around your house for months which can cause many airborne diseases for pets and kids at home. Unfortunately, it can also give invitation to mice, rats, bees and flies increasing your problem further! So, it is better to call for professional help if you are unsure as to how can this be dealt with!

The Kemp Mill animal trapping fossil records reveal that opossums are the oldest type of mammals that lived on earth after dinosaurs.
