Lake Jackson, TX Opossum Control

Opossums are nocturnal scavengers that frequently den under residential structures in Brazoria County, and once they settle in, they rarely leave on their own. The Critter Squad Inc. provides Lake Jackson, TX, Opossum Control services for homes and commercial properties. The Virginia opossum is the only marsupial found in North America, and in suburban settings like Lake Jackson they are drawn to easy food sources - pet food left outside, open garbage bins, fallen fruit from backyard trees, and compost piles. They den under decks, porches, elevated sheds, and in crawl spaces where they can access soft soil for burrowing. While opossums have a lower rabies risk than most mammals because of their naturally low body temperature, they do carry fleas, ticks, and other parasites, and their droppings and nesting material create unsanitary conditions in confined spaces. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department classifies the Virginia opossum as a nongame animal, which means property owners have the right to have them removed when they are causing damage or creating a nuisance on their property. This episode covers opossum habits, what draws them to residential areas, and how professional control differs from the DIY approaches that homeowners typically try first. The Critter Squad Inc. uses humane live trapping to remove the animals and then installs exclusion barriers - heavy-gauge screening, hardware cloth, or concrete - to close off the denning area permanently. The company, founded in 2014 by Zach and Taylor Hohman, is a veteran-owned operation that is fully licensed and insured in Texas, a member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, and backs all exclusion work with a 100% written guarantee. If you are hearing movement under your porch or deck at night, smelling a musty odor from a crawl space, or finding overturned trash and scattered pet food, opossums are a common cause across Brazoria County.
