Is Wildlife NY licensed for opossum removal?

How do opossums reach Manhattan?
Opossums cross into Manhattan from the Bronx via the High Bridge and other crossings over the Harlem River, following green corridors along the Hudson River waterfront. Once established in Inwood Hill Park, opossum populations spread southward along Riverside Park.
Do opossums pose a significant rabies risk in Manhattan?
Opossums have a body temperature too low for the rabies virus to replicate effectively, making them extremely unlikely rabies vectors. This makes them significantly less concerning than raccoons or bats in terms of rabies risk in Manhattan.
What do opossum droppings look like and are they a health risk?
Opossum droppings are elongated and tapered, similar to cat droppings but often containing insect parts and seeds. They can carry Sarcocystis neurona, which affects horses, but pose minimal direct health risk to Manhattan residents in most exposure scenarios.
