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.

    Toppers is the best!!!! We were having problems with an armadillo tearing up our mulch area and our new yard! Toppers set 2 traps and came out every other day to check the digging and to reposition the traps. It was a work in progress, but they succeeded in catching an adult armadillo with 9 bands! Thomas was always very responsive to our questions and texts. He also gave us tips and recommendations, which were very helpful. I cannot say enough great comments about their service. We texted Thomas on a Sunday to tell him we had an armadillo in the cage. He came out that same day to retrieve it. Most companies would have a voicemail telling you they are closed until Monday. Don't hesitate to call Toppers for any animal issues!
