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 Big Cove Tannery, Pennsylvania — 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 Pennsylvania is regulated by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Our Big Cove Tannery contractor is fully licensed under the Pennsylvania Game Commission and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Opossum Removal in Big Cove Tannery

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