📅 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 Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland — Local Context

The Virginia opossum has expanded its range throughout the Northeast over the past century, now established in every state. Northeastern opossums frequently enter structures through gaps in soffits, foundation vents, and crawlspace openings. Cold winters can cause frostbite on their exposed ears and tails, making opossums more aggressive in seeking warm shelter from November through March.

All wildlife removal in Maryland is regulated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Our Aberdeen Proving Ground contractor is fully licensed under the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opossum Removal in Aberdeen Proving Ground

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