Should I be concerned about opossums near my Queens home?
Opossums are generally not a structural pest and cause minimal damage compared to raccoons or squirrels. The main concerns in Queens are odor from den use, droppings in crawl spaces, and the occasional opossum that dies in an inaccessible location under a deck or structure.
How can I tell if it is an opossum or a raccoon using my Queens yard at night?
Opossums move slowly and typically alone, with a distinctive waddling gait and long pink tail visible if seen. Raccoons are faster, more curious, and often in family groups. Opossum droppings are more elongated and tapered compared to raccoon droppings.
Does Wildlife NY relocate opossums from Queens?
Wildlife NY can remove opossums from Queens properties where passive exclusion has not resolved the issue. Opossums are generally receptive to relocation programs and, unlike raccoons, do not aggressively re-establish territory at the capture site.
