Opossum Control

Opossums under your house or in your attic? We trap and remove opossums in Garland and Dallas, then secure access points to keep them out.
Opossums are frequent visitors in North Texas yards, especially around decks, sheds, and crawl spaces. Topper’s Wildlife Removal provides opossum control in Garland, TX, and the Dallas area, offering humane trapping and exclusion to protect your home.

Our team conducts a detailed inspection to locate dens and travel paths. We then set up humane traps to safely remove the opossums from your property. Once removed, we seal off access points to prevent re-entry.

While opossums rarely damage property, they create noise, mess, and odors. We’ll also share tips to reduce attractants and keep your home safe.

If you’ve seen opossums around your home or heard movement under your deck, contact Topper’s Wildlife Removal for trusted opossum control in Garland and the Dallas metro.

    We had an unbearable dead animal smell coming from the wall in my 94 year old mother in law's bedroom, so it was urgent that we find the animal and get it removed. I was skeptical that anyone would be able to find the carcass, but called Topper's based on reviews and the explanation on their web site about their process. Thomas came out that day and located the dead animal in minutes. He applied a smell neutralizer and the scent was completely gone in a few hours. We were very impressed with Thomas and have already passed his contact information to our neighbors. Highly recommended.

    Very friendly. Very fast. Removed squirrels from our attic and blocked off the holes where they were getting in, so they can't come back. Bonus points for flexible payment options.
