San Francisco, CA's Opossum Removal Services

Commercial Repellents

We can recommend commercially available opossum repellents containing predator urine or capsaicin (the hot component of chili peppers). However, unlike some companies, we advise using these strategically. Instead of spraying random areas, we'll identify potential entry points and frequently traveled opossum paths to target the repellent application for better results.

Natural Alternatives

For those seeking eco-friendly options, we can discuss natural repellents like peppermint oil or ammonia-soaked rags (used with caution). While these might not be as strong as commercial options, they can be a deterrent when placed near entry points. Remember, reapplication is often necessary for any repellent method.

Eliminate Food Sources

Opossums are scavengers, so readily available food sources attract them. We recommend securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, eliminating pet food left outdoors overnight, and keeping compost bins adequately sealed.

Address Moisture Issues

Damp crawl spaces, basements, or areas under decks can be attractive to opossums seeking shelter. We at Mighty Men Services in San Francisco, California, can recommend solutions to address moisture problems and make these areas less inviting.

Trim the Landscaping

Overgrown bushes and dense landscaping provide opossums with hiding spots and easy access to your property. Keeping shrubs trimmed and yards clear will make your property less attractive.
