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 Vrain, New Mexico — Local Context

Opossums are primarily found in the eastern portions of the Southwest — eastern Texas and Oklahoma — where they are relatively common in wooded suburban areas. They become increasingly uncommon moving west into the drier portions of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Where present, they behave similarly to southeastern populations, denning in sheltered structures and foraging opportunistically.

All wildlife removal in New Mexico is regulated by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Our Saint Vrain contractor is fully licensed under the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opossum Removal in Saint Vrain

How much does opossum removal cost in Saint Vrain, New Mexico? +
Opossum trapping and removal in New Mexico typically costs $150–$400+. Sealing the entry point where opossums access your Saint Vrain 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 New Mexico 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 Vrain crawlspaces and attics and require professional-grade sanitization.
Why do opossums keep getting under my house in Saint Vrain? +
Opossums do not dig — they use existing openings. Crawlspace vents, gaps in skirting, and open foundation areas in Saint Vrain 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 Vrain 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 Vrain 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 New Mexico? +
Opossums are active year-round in New Mexico 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 Vrain homes.
