📅 Summer Activity

Opossums raise their second litter of the year through summer. Juvenile opossums dispersing from their mother are frequently found in unexpected places, including inside garages, under appliances, and in crawlspaces.

Opossum Removal in Saint Bernice, Indiana — Local Context

Virginia opossums are well established throughout the Midwest but less abundant than in southeastern states. Midwestern opossums are susceptible to frostbite during harsh winters, driving them to seek warm shelter in attics, crawlspaces, and under structures from November through March. Opossum populations have expanded northward across the Midwest as winters have gradually moderated.

All wildlife removal in Indiana is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Our Saint Bernice contractor is fully licensed under the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opossum Removal in Saint Bernice

How much does opossum removal cost in Saint Bernice, Indiana? +
Opossum trapping and removal in Indiana typically costs $150–$400+. Sealing the entry point where opossums access your Saint Bernice 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 Indiana 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 Saint Bernice crawlspaces and attics and require professional-grade sanitization.
Why do opossums keep getting under my house in Saint Bernice? +
Opossums do not dig — they use existing openings. Crawlspace vents, gaps in skirting, and open foundation areas in Saint Bernice 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 Saint Bernice leave on its own? +
Possibly, but not reliably. Opossums can be nomadic and sometimes move on within days. However, a warm, sheltered crawlspace in Saint Bernice 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 Indiana? +
Opossums are active year-round in Indiana 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 Saint Bernice homes.
