Why Hire Pestend For Opossum Removal

Opossums are a very common pest in the urban and rural areas of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Opossums can be a serious health hazard since they can cary many deadly diseases to humans and household pets including rabies. If you have an Opossum living near or on your property you will surely notice them in the evening time when the sun goes down, as they are most active at this time.

We re-locate all Opossums in the wild far away from your home so they never come back without hurting them.

Opossum will make leaf nest in a hollow log, fallen tree, abandoned woodchuck burrow or other hollow sheltered area. One to fourteen young are born in late winter. They travel up the mother’s belly to a marsupial pouch where they will nurse and develop for 2 months. The opossum may have 2 to 3 litters per year. The young are often riding on the mother’s back shortly after leaving the pouch.

The Virginia Opossum invaded Ontario as early as 1858, but has become more common in southern Ontario since 1947, and in eastern Ontario since 1960. It occupies a broad band area along the north shore of the Great Lakes, from Goderich to Toronto, and east of Kingston. In recent years, it has become a more frequent structural pest and road kill victim.
