Opossum Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.
Opossums are gentle scavengers that rarely cause direct damage — but they can make a mess when they nest under homes, porches, or in crawlspaces. They’re attracted to pet food, trash, and shelter, and they sometimes die in inaccessible areas, leading to odor issues. Because opossums often share dens with skunks or groundhogs, and because many enter through damaged vents or loose crawl doors, pricing depends on access, number of animals, and cleanup needs rather than fear-driven urgency. Below outlines how we price opossum work, what affects cost, and what most customers typically spend.

-
• Number of animals (single vs. family den)
• Location (crawlspace vs. under deck)
• Type of structure (foundation height, access difficulty)
• Soil type and trenching needs for prevention
• Presence of other animals sharing the den
• Your goal — remove now or prevent long term
-
• Inspection: $75
• Humane trapping: $225 setup + $60 per return visit
• Exclusion & repairs: $600–$1,500 typical; $1,500–$3,000+ complex
• Add-ons: vent guards, crawl doors, vapor barrier replacement
No scare tactics. No up-sells. Just calm, humane, and effective opossum removal — done right, with proof and long-term protection..
-
Standard inspection (within our service area): $75- $150 crawlspace
What you get:
• Full inspection of crawlspaces, decks, and exterior perimeter
• Identification of entry points, den sites, or droppings
• Photos or videos documenting activity or contamination
• Clear action plan for removal and repairs
Why we start here:
Opossums are slow and quiet, often mistaken for raccoons or skunks. A proper inspection identifies the real culprit and prevents paying for services you don’t need. It also helps determine if odor control or exclusion is necessary.
-
Ballpark: $225 setup + $60 per return visit
What’s included:
• Up to 2 traps + 2 cellular cameras for live monitoring
• Placement at known den openings or travel paths
• Immediate response when a capture occurs
Why this works:
Opossums are nocturnal scavengers. Cellular monitoring ensures we don’t leave trapped animals sitting overnight — reducing stress and odor risk while saving you unnecessary site checks.
-
Typical homes: $600–$1,500
Large decks or crawlspaces: $1,500–$3,000+
What it includes:
• Repairing and sealing access holes around foundations, crawl doors, and vents
• Installing underground trench barriers or wire screening where needed
• Reinforcing soft soil or weak skirting around sheds and decks
• Photo documentation of all completed work
Why people choose this:
Opossums are opportunistic — if one finds an easy way in, others will follow. Proper exclusion eliminates re-entry and keeps other animals (skunks, groundhogs, stray cats) from using the same opening.
Guarantee:
All full-home or full-structure exclusions come with a 3-year guarantee on our work.
-
• Crawlspace vent guards — $80–$150 each
• Deck barrier — $20–$30 per linear foot installed
• Crawl door rebuild — $250–$500
• Vapor barrier or insulation replacement (if contaminated) — $400–$900
We don’t bundle unnecessary cleanup into every job — it’s recommended only if contamination or odor is present.
