Louisville Opossum Removal
Keeping Your Property Opossum-Free
You may be most likely to see opossums on the side of the road, but they occasionally move into neighborhoods and cause problems for homeowners.
When they get close to your home, they'll damage your yard while looking for food, expose your family to diseases and parasites, and damage your home while looking for shelter.
If possums are causing problems on your property, contact Louisville Critter Ridder.

Removal
Our trapping service uses a one way door and/or humane live traps to catch and remove the opossums on your property. Our traps are closely monitored and checked every 3 hours by our team.
Habitat Modification
Removing the opossum's food source is important in keeping these animals from returning to your property. We'll identify the food source and, if possible, eliminate it to prevent future problems.
Exclusion
If opossums have gotten into your house, it's vital to seal the points of entry to prevent them from getting back inside. We offer exclusion services to seal entry points. This service comes with a ten-year warranty.
Sanitation
Because opossums can spread many dangerous illnesses, it's important to sanitize the areas where they spent the most time. We will clean up droppings and disinfect the affected areas to protect your family's health.
Insulation Removal & Replacement
If your insulation was damaged during your opossum infestation, we can remove the affected areas and replace them with new insulation. We offer both traditional and TAP insulation installation.
Protecting Your Home & Family
Opossums may look relatively harmless (if you don't get a look at their teeth!), but in reality, they can be quite destructive and dangerous. If any have gotten onto your property or into your house, you must take quick action. Louisville Critter Ridder can safely remove the possums from your property and ensure they don't come back.
Opossums In Louisville Neighborhoods
Opossums are one of the most common animals we remove from under decks, porches and sheds across Louisville - especially in neighborhoods near greenways like Beargrass Creek and Floyds Fork. They're transient by nature, moving den sites every few days, but a reliable food source (pet food, unsecured garbage, fallen fruit) will keep one returning nightly. Kentucky winters are hard on opossums - their bare ears and tails are prone to frostbite - so cold snaps push them into crawl spaces and garages seeking warmth.
Opossum Removal Questions, Answered
Do opossums carry rabies?
Almost never - an opossum's body temperature is too low for the rabies virus to thrive, which makes them one of the safer animals to encounter. They also eat thousands of ticks a season. That said, they still don't belong under your deck or in your garage, and their droppings can carry other pathogens, so we relocate them humanely and seal the space.
How much does opossum removal cost in Louisville?
Louisville Critter Ridder uses flat-rate pricing: basic wild animal removal typically runs $797-$997 total, with no per-animal charges. We give free quotes over the phone 24/7/365 at (502) 791-9205, and we match or beat competitor pricing.
How does your opossum removal process work?
We follow a three-step process: first we humanely remove the animals using traps that are tech-monitored and physically checked every three hours, then we repair the damage they caused, and finally we permanently close every entry point so they can't get back in.
Is your opossum removal humane?
Yes. We use humane removal methods every time, and every trap is paired with cellular monitoring technology and physically checked every three hours so no animal is left waiting.
Will the animals come back after opossum removal?
No - after removal we permanently seal every entry point and potential entry point, and that exclusion work is backed in writing by our 10 year animal-free guarantee. If an animal re-enters through an entry point we closed within 10 years, we make it right.
