Opossums can destroy yards, gardens, and attics while infesting these areas with their disease-carrying fleas. Opossums are scavengers by nature leading them to occupied buildings where they seek shelter and food. Opossums are omnivores, meaning they will eat anything including meat, pet food, and rotting carcasses. Opossums are nocturnal and will usually be heard in the attic at night time. Opossums in attics, under sheds, and in yards have become an increasingly common find in Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX and surrounding areas due to the rapid land development and property growth.
Opossums in Texas are an extreme health risk to humans and their pets. Due to opossums being opportunistic scavengers, they often come in contact with building occupants and their pets. Opossums are not very fast and will often stand their ground when threatened. This can lead to a nasty bite from a mouth bearing 50 sharp teeth. Opossums are carriers of fleas, ticks, and many parasites. Their droppings present several health risks such as leptospirosis and salmonella.
