Opossum Removal From Attic | 24 Hour Licensed Trappers
Hearing slow, heavy movement in your attic after dark? You may need professional opossum removal from attic services. Wildlife Control Specialist of Atlanta provides 24-hour on-call, licensed opossum trapping, humane removal, and complete attic exclusion for homes and businesses throughout Atlanta, GA and surrounding communities.
Opossums (Virginia opossums) are common across Metro Atlanta. They are nocturnal climbers that look for warm, quiet shelter—especially during cooler months and baby-rearing season. An attic, soffit, or roof gap can look like the perfect den. Once inside, an opossum can disturb insulation, contaminate the space with droppings, introduce fleas and ticks, and leave behind odors that linger long after the animal is gone.

Signs You Need Opossum Removal From Attic
Opossums are not as loud as raccoons, but the signs are still easy to miss if you don’t know what to listen for:
- Slow walking, thumping, or dragging sounds at night
- Disturbed or flattened insulation
- Scattered droppings (usually about 1–2 inches long)
- A musky odor in the attic or near vents
- Damaged soffits, loose fascia, or a vent cover that has been pushed aside
- Tracks or smears along the roofline, garage, or crawl space leading upward
If the noise is heavy and happens after sunset, the animal is more likely an opossum or raccoon than a squirrel. Gray squirrels are usually active during the day. A free attic inspection is the fastest way to confirm what is living overhead.

Why Opossums in the Attic Are a Problem | Wildlife Control Specialist of Atlanta
Opossums are often thought of as harmless backyard visitors. Inside an Atlanta attic, they become a property and health concern.
Property damage. Opossums use existing openings, then enlarge weak spots as they come and go. They can flatten insulation, damage ductwork, and leave debris that reduces energy efficiency.
Contamination. Droppings and urine can soak into insulation and wood. That contamination can create odors and attract insects. In some cases, leftover waste also raises the risk of bacteria and parasites being spread through the attic.
Parasites. Opossums can carry fleas, ticks, and mites. Once those pests are in the attic, they can move toward living areas.
Young in the nest. In spring and early summer, a female may use an attic as a nursery. Removing only the adult without checking for young can leave babies trapped inside walls or insulation—creating odor problems and repeat activity.
That is why proper opossum removal from attic work should include inspection, humane removal, exclusion, and cleanup—not just setting a trap and hoping for the best.

Opossum Removal
How Opossums Get Into Atlanta Attics | Wildlife Control Specialist of Atlanta
Unlike lighter animals such as squirrels or rats, raccoons in attic produce unmistakable evidence:
- Heavy nocturnal noises — Slow, deliberate thumping or walking that sounds like a person or large dog moving across the ceiling. You may also hear dragging, rustling of insulation, growling, or the distinctive high-pitched chittering and mewing of baby kits.
- Foul odors — Raccoons establish communal latrines. Accumulated droppings and urine create a strong ammonia-like smell that can eventually seep into living spaces.
- Visible exterior damage — Torn soffits, bent or missing vent covers, claw marks on siding, or pulled-back shingles.
- Interior evidence — Compressed or shredded insulation pathways, dark staining on ceilings, and large droppings that resemble those of a small dog or cat.
Daytime sightings — Adult raccoons occasionally move during the day when nursing young or under stress.
If you notice any of these signs, do not ignore them. The longer raccoons in attic remain, the greater the damage and contamination.

Opossum Removal From Attic FAQ
How do I know it is an opossum and not a raccoon?
Opossum activity is usually slower and less destructive than raccoon activity. Raccoons often tear larger openings and leave concentrated latrine piles. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm the species.
Will the opossum leave on its own?
Sometimes an opossum is only passing through. If it has found a den, food source, or a place to raise young, it is unlikely to leave permanently until the access points are closed.
Do you clean the attic after removal?
Yes. We offer full attic cleaning, droppings removal, sanitation, deodorizing, and insulation replacement when contamination is present.
How soon can you come out?
Our licensed trappers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout Metro Atlanta.
