Central Florida’s warm climate, suburban growth, and abundant food sources make opossum activity extremely common throughout the year. Opossums are opportunistic scavengers that thrive near residential neighborhoods, especially where garbage, pet food, crawlspaces, and sheltered nesting areas are easily accessible. Different neighborhoods experience different levels of opossum pressure depending on nearby woods, lakes, and urban development.
Older homes with crawlspace access, aging soffits, and mature landscaping create ideal shelter for opossums. Outdoor pet food and unsecured garbage bins commonly attract nighttime activity in these neighborhoods.
New developments near wetlands and wooded conservation areas often experience increased opossum activity as wildlife adapts to expanding residential construction zones.
Lakefront communities and golf course properties provide steady access to food and water sources, making garages, lanais, and outdoor kitchens common opossum nesting areas.
Rural and wooded transition zones frequently experience larger opossum populations around sheds, crawlspaces, barns, and detached outdoor structures. Multi-animal nesting situations are common in these areas.
— Why CFL Trappers?
Opossums can cause contamination, odors, and structural damage when they settle inside homes or around outdoor structures. Their nesting activity often creates sanitation concerns and recurring wildlife problems if access points remain open.
Call our licensed wildlife specialists for fast and humane opossum removal.
Full attic and exterior inspection. We identify active nesting areas, entry points, food sources, and structural vulnerabilities attracting opossums to the property.
Strategically placed live traps are installed near active travel routes and nesting zones to safely capture opossums without harming pets or surrounding property.
Entry points and vulnerable gaps are sealed using professional-grade exclusion materials designed to prevent future opossum access into attics, crawlspaces, and outdoor structures.
Contaminated nesting materials, droppings, and debris are safely removed. Sanitizing and deodorizing treatments help reduce bacteria, odors, and future wildlife attraction.

Real reviews from Central Florida homeowners who trusted us with their opossum removal problems.
We kept hearing loud scratching noises in the attic every night and eventually discovered an opossum nesting near the insulation. They trapped it safely, sealed the entry points, and cleaned the contaminated area.
An opossum got into our garage and kept tearing into the trash cans outside. The team responded quickly, trapped the animal, and showed us several access areas we never noticed.
We had an opossum living under our deck for weeks before calling Central Florida Trapper. They handled the removal professionally, sealed the area, and gave us prevention tips that worked immediately.
