Opossum Removal in Jones, Louisiana — Local Context

Opossums are among the most common wildlife species removed from homes in the Southeast, thriving in the region's warm climate and abundant food supply. Year-round breeding in the South means opossum families can be encountered in structures at any time of year. Female opossums may carry a full pouch of young, requiring careful, trained handling by licensed professionals.

All wildlife removal in Louisiana is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Our Jones contractor is fully licensed under the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opossum Removal in Jones

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