Opossums, commonly found in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR, are intriguing creatures with their distinctive appearance and peculiar behaviors. However, when these marsupials start invading residential and commercial spaces, they can become a nuisance. At Wayfare Pest Solutions, we specialize in providing effective opossum trapping services while employing expert techniques to prevent their return. In this article, we will delve into our opossum trapping methods and explore the preventive measures we employ to keep your property opossum-free.
Our Unique Approach To Opossum Control Services
1. thorough inspection
Our skilled technicians begin by conducting a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify opossum entry points, nesting areas, and potential food sources. This step helps us develop a customized trapping strategy tailored to your specific needs.
2. humane trappping
At Wayfare Pest Solutions, we prioritize humane opossum removal. We utilize live traps designed to capture opossums without causing harm. Our trained experts employ specialized trapping techniques to effectively catch opossums. We employ baiting methods that appeal to opossums’ dietary preferences, increasing the chances of successful trapping. These traps are also strategically placed in areas frequented by opossums, ensuring safe capture and removal.
3. Prevention
To prevent opossums from returning, Wayfare Pest Solutions employs exclusion techniques, sealing off potential entry points. Our team identifies gaps, cracks, and other vulnerabilities in your property’s structure and implements durable materials to seal these openings. By eliminating access points, we help ensure opossums cannot re-enter your property. Opossums are attracted to properties with easily accessible food sources, such as pet food left outside or unsecured trash cans. Our experts provide guidance on habitat modification, advising you on fencing, secure garbage storage, removing fallen fruits, and securing pet food containers. By removing these attractants, we discourage opossums from frequenting your yard as well as your home.

We used Wayfare for some birds who decided to nest in our attic. The technicians arrived on time and were very knowledgeable. They did a through inspection of our attic and showed me the areas of concern. They communicated continuously throughout and did a fantastic job helping us. I will definitely call them again for any needs we have in the future. I want to mention they were also the most affordable option with one other company quoting us over a thousand more. I highly recommend them!– Erin H. in Vancouver, WA.
Fast response and service! Mark came right out when I had wasps in my house suddenly. I was concerned there was a nest in my attic. He was thorough and checked the attic and outside eaves and sprayed and explained what was going on. I was grateful, the price was fair, and I highly recommend Wayfare.– Dee B. in Vancouver, WA
A while back, I contacted Mark about a mole problem I had been experiencing. He sent someone over who showed me how to set some traps. Eventually, I figured out how to do it and caught my first mole. The service was professional and effective. Mark and his staff are excellent, professional, and just good at what they do.– Jeremy H. in Vancouver, WA
