Opossum Control in Bayonne, NJ And Surrounding Areas

That Weird Hissing Sound? Yeah, You’ve Got Opossums

Hearing strange noises under your deck at night? If it sounds like an angry cat but isn’t, you’re probably dealing with an opossum. These odd-looking marsupials (yep, the only ones in North America) have figured out that your property has everything they need—food, water, and a nice quiet spot to crash.

Don’t get us wrong, opossums aren’t aggressive animals. But having them set up shop on your property? That can lead to some real headaches. They’ll tear into garbage bags, help themselves to pet food you left outside, and yes, that whole “playing dead” thing can be pretty unsettling when you stumble across one.

At Clearview Pest Control, we handle opossum control in Bayonne the right way—humanely removing them and making sure they don’t come back. After 15+ years in pest control and wildlife removal, we’ve learned exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to these nocturnal visitors.

Call us at 347-224-2581 for opossum removal service that actually solves the problem instead of just moving it down the street.

Why Opossums Become a Problem

Look, opossums eat bugs and ticks, which sounds great. But they also carry diseases like leptospirosis and can bring fleas, ticks, and other parasites right onto your property. They’ll knock over trash cans, leave droppings everywhere, and sometimes die in hard-to-reach places (trust us, you don’t want that).

Plus, once other animals smell opossum activity, they’ll think your property is fair game too. Suddenly you’re dealing with raccoons, skunks, or even more opossums.

Why Trapping Opossum Isn’t a DIY Job

These animals are smarter than they look. They can climb like you wouldn’t believe and squeeze through openings that seem way too small. And here’s the thing—catch one opossum, and another will just move into the same spot unless you’ve actually fixed what’s attracting them.

We’ve seen homeowners spend weeks trying to deal with this themselves, only to call us anyway after wasting time and money on methods that don’t work.

How We Handle Opossum Removal in Bayonne NJ

We don’t just trap and relocate. That’s only half the job.

Figure Out Why They’re Here
First, we walk your property to understand what’s drawing opossums in. Pet food bowls? Gaps under your shed? Overflowing compost? Whatever it is, we find it.

Safe, Humane Removal
We use professional opossum trapping methods that don’t harm the animal. Once caught, we relocate them far enough away that they won’t just wander back.

Seal Up Entry Points
This is where most DIY efforts fail. We provide repairs and exclusions to block every possible way opossums (and other wildlife) can get back in. Crawl spaces, deck gaps, foundation cracks—we handle it all.

Prevent Opossum Return
We’ll give you straight talk about what changes you need to make to keep your property less attractive to wildlife. Sometimes it’s as simple as bringing pet food inside at night.

24 Hour Opossum Removal When You Need It

Wildlife doesn’t wait for business hours. An opossum in your garage at 2 AM is still an opossum that needs dealing with. That’s why we’re available around the clock for emergency situations.

We Also Handle Other Wildlife Problems

While we’re at it, we can address other animals causing issues on your property:

• Squirrel removal (attics are their favorite)
• Bat control (colonies need professional exclusion)
• Groundhog control (those burrows can undermine structures)
• Dead animal removal (because sometimes they don’t leave on their own)

Making Your Property Opossum-Proof

Safe opossum removal is just step one. Our opossum exclusion services create long-term barriers that actually work. We’ve been doing this since 2020, and before that, owner Michael Medina spent 15 years learning wildlife control inside and out.

We know what we’re doing because we’ve seen it all—from single opossums under porches to multiple animals taking up residence in crawl spaces. Each situation is different, and we treat it that way.

Serving Bayonne, Jersey City, And Beyond

We provide opossum removal in Jersey City, Bayonne, and throughout our service areas—including Newark, Hoboken, Staten Island, and Westchester County. Basically, if you’re dealing with opossum problems in the area, we’ve got you covered.
