Possum Control
The possum in the only marsupial (pouched animal) in North America. If the proper steps are taken, possum control and prevention can be achieved.
Here in Massachusetts, possums sometimes den in attics and garages where they may make nests out of a variety of materials. When startled, possums can bare their sharp teeth and hiss, and in rare cases may bite if they feel threatened.
As with many wildlife species, possums can transmit rabies and other dangerous organisms to people and domestic animals.
Possum Prevention
- Store trashcans and recycling bins indoors, or in sealed areas such as a locked shed or container. If trash cans are kept outdoors, use wildlife-proof lids.
- Bring pet food dishes inside at night to avoid attracting possums close to homes and buildings.
- Remove other obvious sources of food and shelter from your property.
- Inspect the outside of your home for holes or access points, such as broken vent covers.
