Signs You Have an Opossum Problem
Opossums are slow-moving but persistent—and they leave behind noticeable signs.
Noises Around the Home
- Slow, heavy movement sounds
- Activity at night
- Movement near roof edges, crawlspaces, or decks
If you’re hearing this, there’s a strong chance you’re dealing with an opossum.
Start with a professional Wildlife Inspection to confirm the animal and locate entry points.

Want to better understand opossum behavior, signs, and how they get into homes?
If you’re not completely sure what animal you’re dealing with, our Wildlife Resource Guide can help you identify the problem based on:
- Tracks and movement patterns
- Droppings and contamination
- Noises and activity timing
- Damage and entry points
This is especially helpful when trying to tell the difference between opossums, raccoons, and mice.

Droppings and Odor
- Medium-sized droppings near entry areas
- Odor around crawlspaces or nesting areas
- Signs of scavenging near trash or food sources
Property Damage and Signs
- Disturbed crawlspace areas
- Entry through existing openings
- Mess or nesting materials under structures
- Tipped trash or food disturbance
Opossums typically do not create entry points—they use ones that already exist.
Many homes require Wildlife Exclusion and Repairs to fully solve the issue.
Not Sure If It’s an Opossum?
Some signs can overlap depending on the animal.
Opossums move slower and heavier than most animals. Raccoons are more destructive and aggressive in entry, while mice create light, fast scratching sounds.

Why Opossums Are a Problem in Oklahoma Homes
Opossums are opportunistic animals that take advantage of shelter and food sources.
- Nesting under homes or in crawlspaces
- Contamination from droppings
- Carrying parasites and bacteria
- Repeated use of the same shelter areas
While they can be beneficial outdoors, they become a problem once inside or under your home.
Where Opossums Commonly Get Into Homes
Common access points include:
- Open crawlspace vents
- Gaps under decks or foundations
- Openings in soffits or rooflines
- Areas previously used by other animals
If another animal has created an opening, opossums will often take advantage of it.
That is why long-term solutions require both Humane Wildlife Removal and Wildlife Exclusion and Repairs.
