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.

    I've had a great experience with Thomas at Topper's Wildlife Removal. He was at my house within 90 minutes of my first call. Within 24 hours he caught a rabbit which he removed immediatley. Thomas set 3 traps in the backyard. He comes out every other day to replace and replenish new bait/food, checks on things, possibly repositions traps, etc. And, within a few days of the first rabbit caught he caught another one. He picks up the rabbits the day they hit the trap. Additionally, Thomas is trying out a new product in my yard he might be offering soon -- for my yard, he used 6 little grey pods and/or cans he set 4 feet apart around my flower bed - it's like an aerosol repellent to deter rabbits - it's working as the green leaves are coming back and hopefully soon flowers. We are still testing it, that said, it seems promising. Thomas's communication via text regarding updating me has been outstanding. He is professional, knowledgeable and very honest. It's been a pleasure doing business with him. I highly recommend and endorse his services at Topper's Wildlife Removal.

    They’re really nice and very professional. They have helped me twice. Once with 2 skunks living under my house and now with rats in my attic. I recommend them!
