How much does opossum removal cost in Hapeville? +
$200-$500. Single live-trap $200-$300. Mother + joeys $300-$500. Multi-opossum $500-$1,000. Dead opossum recovery $300-$700.
Do opossums carry rabies? +
Very rarely. Body temperature below rabies-optimal range. CDC treats opossum bites as low-risk.
There's an opossum in my Hapeville garage — how do I get it out? +
Open garage door fully at dusk, turn off lights, leave area, check back in 30-60 minutes. Usually leaves on its own.
How do I keep opossums away? +
Eliminate outdoor pet food, secure garbage, close garage doors at night, seal accessible crawlspaces.
Is there a dead opossum smell in my Hapeville home? +
Common call. Recovery $300-$700 depending on access (often pre-1950 crawlspace recovery).
How much does opossum removal cost in Hapeville, Georgia? +
Opossum trapping and removal in Georgia typically costs $150–$400+. Sealing the entry point where opossums access your Hapeville crawlspace or deck adds $150–$400+. Long-term contamination cleanup in areas where opossums have been living adds additional cost depending on how long the animal was present.
Are opossums in Georgia dangerous? +
Opossums rarely carry rabies due to their low body temperature, but they do carry leptospirosis and harbor parasites including fleas, ticks, and mites. A female opossum with young in her pouch requires careful professional handling. Their droppings contaminate insulation in Hapeville crawlspaces and attics and require professional-grade sanitization.
Why do opossums keep getting under my house in Hapeville? +
Opossums do not dig — they use existing openings. Crawlspace vents, gaps in skirting, and open foundation areas in Hapeville homes are the primary access points. Because they are opportunistic and nomadic, multiple different opossums may use the same entry point over time. Permanent sealing of all ground-level openings is the only lasting solution.
Will an opossum in Hapeville leave on its own? +
Possibly, but not reliably. Opossums can be nomadic and sometimes move on within days. However, a warm, sheltered crawlspace in Hapeville may be occupied continuously by successive animals unless the entry point is sealed. Females with young will not leave until pups are fully weaned. Professional removal guarantees the animal is gone and the entry is sealed.
When are opossums most active in Georgia? +
Opossums are active year-round in Georgia and can be found in structures in any season. They breed twice per year — females carry young in the pouch from January through April for the first litter, and from June through August for the second. Cold weather drives them more aggressively into crawlspaces and attics. Mothers with pouch young require trained handling and are the most common opossum situation in Hapeville homes.
