If you are dealing with any pest issue and feel exhausted or worried, I wholeheartedly recommend Acme Pest Solutions. They are the best, and you can truly trust them with your home.
We had a squirrel in the wall of our townhouse, and they were able to immediately identify the issue and take measures to resolve it.
Also, while previous experiences with service companies left me thinking that they would be there a few hours after they said they would, they arrived ahead of time!
I really appreciate their work, and customer service.
Highly recommend!
Thank you!

Why Hire Acme for Opossum Removal in Toronto, Ontario?
Opossums are considered pests because of their rapid reproduction and destructive, nocturnal nature. These tiny intruders never hibernate and are more active at night. They make nests and, upon encounter, fake death, “playing possum.”
Their extermination requires an understanding of proper behaviour and expert solutions. At Acme, our team specializes in the humane removal of Opossums across Toronto and its surrounding areas. We use humane traps and exclusion techniques to safely capture opossums and their babies from residential and commercial properties.

Risks of Opossum Infestation
Nuisance
Opossums are adaptive creatures that do not hibernate. As the sun sets, they become more active, create scratching and thumbing noises, and knock on garbage bins. These constant movements cause sleeplessness, tiredness, and anxiety.
Health Risks
Possums are major carriers of ticks and other deadly diseases. They transmit pathogens, including bacteria and rabies, to humans and pets. They contaminate surfaces and leave droppings, which, upon direct contact, cause salmonella and leptospirosis.
Damage
Once inside, these tiny rodents cause extensive damage. They chew on wires and pipes, which can cause fire hazards. They also tear insulation and wall covers. Their nesting and climbing habits damage soffits, shingles, and vents.

Are Opossums Dangerous to Humans or Pets?
Opossums are generally non-aggressive and avoid encounters with humans and other animals. However, when threatened, they may scratch or bite in self-defense. Such injuries can potentially transmit diseases. They also contaminate surfaces and food resources, spreading bacteria and parasites to both humans and pets. Immediately seek medical help if you are scratched or bitten by a possum.
Preventive Measures to Avoid Re-entry
We do not believe in quick fixes and focus on long-term prevention. For this purpose, we seal off entry points, install exclusion barriers, and advise on maintenance and preventive guidelines.
- Do not feed animals near your property.
- Keep trash cans inside or use tight-lid bins.
- Declutter your space regularly.
- Trim tree branches and shrubs, and keep the surroundings clean.
- Inspect your property periodically to check for signs of infestation.
- Do not use DIY hacks to remove wild animals.
- Immediately call professional exterminators at Acme Pest Solutions for safe, effective opossum removal in Toronto, Ontario.
