Opossums Removal for Eastern Iowa

Opossums are about the same size as house cats, but can grow to a length of 40 inches. Their tail is rat-like, hairless, and slightly less than ½ their total length. In northern climates, however, tail length may be shorter due to frostbite.

Opossums may enter trailer houses and climb into insulation under the floor. They often are encountered moving about the ductwork of mobile homes. They commonly enter living quarters through large gaps around pipes and drains under sinks. Learn more about opossums at the following site icwdm.org.
