Got a call from a homeowner dealing with a possum setting up under her home 🏡🐾
She asked us to quote any potential damage and plan for rodent-proofing — but only after the possum has her babies and moves on naturally. That’s something we really respect.
Living in Florida means sharing space with native wildlife, and not every situation needs trapping. In this case, we’re letting nature take its course the right way.
A little about possums 👇
They typically give birth 1–2 times a year, with a short 12–14 day gestation period. Once born, the babies crawl into the mother’s pouch to continue developing. Around 2–4 months later, they leave the pouch and often ride on her back until they’re ready to move on.
They may not be everyone’s favorite visitor, but possums play a big role in the ecosystem. They’re known as nature’s cleanup crew — eating insects, rodents, and even thousands of ticks each season.
Once this momma moves on, we’ll come back, assess any damage, and properly seal everything up.
Respect the wildlife, protect the home
