Humane Opossum Removal & Control in Northern New Jersey
Is an uninvited guest living under your deck or in your attic?
Seeing a white, pointed face peering out from under your porch at night can be a startling experience. While opossums are generally non-aggressive, they are opportunistic nesters. Once they decide your crawl space, garage, or attic is their new home, they bring along unpleasant odors, heavy nesting materials, and potential health risks for your pets.
​
At Accurate Pest Control, we provide professional opossum control services in Northern NJ that prioritize both your family’s safety and the humane treatment of the animal. We don't just "trap and go"—we find out why they chose your home and make sure they can’t get back in.

Signs You Need Professional Opossum Removal
Opossums are nocturnal and quiet, but they aren't exactly "clean" roommates. If you notice these signs, it’s time to call a local wildlife specialist:
​
-
Heavy Thumping at Night: Unlike the light "scurrying" of squirrels, opossums are heavy-set and make loud thumping or scratching sounds in your ceiling or floors.
-
The "Hiss" of a Cornered Animal: If your dog is barking at a dark corner of the garage and you hear a distinct hissing sound, you likely have a nesting opossum.
-
Persistent, Musty Odors: Opossums carry a very specific, pungent scent. If a corner of your home suddenly smells like wet fur and waste, an infestation is likely.
-
Vanishing Pet Food & Toppled Trash: They are famous scavengers. If your outdoor cat food is disappearing or your trash is being shredded nightly, you have a visitor.
Our "Respectful Removal" Process
We believe in humane opossum trapping that follows all New Jersey state wildlife regulations. Our 4-step process ensures a permanent solution:
​
-
Strategic Property Inspection: We identify every "soft spot" in your home’s defenses—from foundation gaps to low-hanging branches that lead to your roof.
-
Stress-Free Trapping: We use professional-grade, live-capture traps. Our goal is to remove the animal quickly and safely without causing it unnecessary distress.
-
Sanitization & Dead Opossum Removal: Opossums often bring in fleas and ticks. We offer deep-cleaning services to sanitize nesting areas and, if necessary, provide dead animal removal if one has perished inside your walls.
-
Professional Exclusion (The Shield): We seal the entry points using heavy-duty hardware cloth and steel mesh so the next wandering opossum can't move into the same spot.
