Guaranteed wildlife Removal from Roof and Attic by Wildlife Pro
The Virginia opossum (also known as possum) is a native of the American South. Within the past few decades, the species has traveled north due to warming temperatures, making its way up to Ontario’s Bruce Peninsula. From there, the species has migrated along the lakeshore and can often be seen in cities and rural areas in much of the province. Some unsuspecting critters have been unwittingly imported via truck or train and have bred locally ever since.
Sightings have occurred in or near garbage areas and unfortunately, many possums find their end on the roadside, having been hit by cars. While they are quite comfortable living in rural and small-town areas, cities have proven to be challenging for them and fast-moving cars on roads and highways often contribute to their demise. Their habit of “playing possum” (pretending to be dead) when threatened makes them vulnerable to collisions with vehicles of all types. Easy access to food sources also plays a part in where these animals live.
As you can imagine, summer is a comfortable season for them, but winter weather finds them searching for warm places to live. If a possum decides that your home or building is suitable, it will take up residence for several months and may proceed to breed in that space.
On the plus side, ticks and fleas like to feed on possums and are speedily eliminated because these animals are very good groomers. They are known to kill ninety percent of the insects that they encounter. The diet of a possum is varied and can include birds and their eggs, grains, fruits, berries, grasses, snakes, insects, and small mammals. They are basically omnivores, and will eat almost anything.
