Is Wildlife NY licensed for opossum removal?
Yes. Wildlife NY holds a New York State DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control license. All work in Prospect Heights is performed by licensed, insured professionals using humane methods.
Do opossums cause damage to Brooklyn properties?
Opossums rarely cause significant structural damage but do create odor problems when they den in crawl spaces or under structures. They can damage insulation, leave droppings, and occasionally die in inaccessible spaces, creating serious odor issues in Brooklyn basements.
How do I safely remove an opossum that is playing dead in my Brooklyn yard?
An opossum playing dead, called thanatosis, will recover on its own within minutes to hours. Give it space and do not attempt to move it. If it is in a dangerous location, contact Wildlife NY for safe relocation assistance.
Why does passive exclusion work well for opossums in Brooklyn?
Opossums are temporary den users rather than year-round residents in most Brooklyn properties, leaving nightly to forage. Closing entry points after dark when the opossum is likely outside is effective because opossums do not aggressively return to a sealed site the way raccoons do.
