general INFORMATION AND Habitat

The opossum is one of the strangest animals and is one of the most common pest species in Texas. They are the only marsupial that exists in North America. The opossum is almost exclusively nocturnal, so their presence in and around your home may go unnoticed for a significant length of time. If you suspect that an opossum has entered your home, do not attempt to rectify the issue yourself, as you will raise the animal’s defenses, and they produce a terrible odor when threatened. Opossums have a very flexible diet and can thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions. Opossums are incredibly skilled at climbing and jumping and can find their way into your home from rooftops or windows.
