"How do I get rid of these pesky New Orleans Opossums from under my shed or deck?"
Parker Wildlife Removal in New Orleans performs opossum removal all the time. Trapping these critters can be very beneficial in lowering the level of fleas around your home. Many times its the flea problem and a sighting that gets people to call me for removal. After we remove the opossum you should hire a professional pest control operator to resolve your flea problem completely. We will trap opossum in Baton Rouge, Metairie, Kenner, Mandeville, and Slidell. So if its an opossum that's bothering you give Parker Wildlife a call!
In many cases trapping the opossum is necessary, but if it is raiding some cat food consider picking up the cat food at night as these critters are nocturnal and hungry!
They are some interesting creatures as well, they are marsupials! You can find some very interesting facts about opossums here.
Warning: It can be dangerous to handle trapped animals. Contact your local parish health unit if a bite has occurred, even animals that appear healthy can carry rabies!
