How long does the possum removal process take?

The possum removal process can vary in length, depending on several factors. After you hire Alpha Wildlife, we will do the initial inspection and trapping setup can take a few hours. We will identify entry points and set up traps strategically.

Once the traps are set, it might take a few days to a week to catch the possums. Possums are nocturnal and may not enter the traps immediately. Regular checks on the traps are necessary to ensure any captured possums are removed quickly.

After trapping, the process includes sealing entry points to prevent future invasions. This can take another few hours to a day, depending on the number and location of the entry points.

In total, the entire removal process, including trapping and securing your home, can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. If you’re doing it yourself, it might take longer due to the learning curve and availability of resources.

Remember, patience and persistence are key. Regular monitoring and maintenance are crucial to ensure possums don’t return. If problems persist, consulting with a wildlife removal expert is recommended. Make sure to follow all state and federal guidelines.
