Yes, there are opossums in the Lower Mainland. Virginia opossums have spread across Burnaby, Coquitlam and the rest of Metro Vancouver.
They’re scavengers like raccoons, so garbage cans, compost and pet food are a big draw. A mother with babies will hiss, bite and scratch to protect them.
Pest Boss handles opossum removal across Burnaby. We move them out humanely and close up where they were getting in.
Give Pest Boss a call if you’re seeing any of these:
- Garbage or compost scattered overnight
- An animal living under a deck, shed or crawl space
- Droppings near the den
- A grey animal with a long bare tail spotted at night
Could it be something else? See our raccoon removal and skunk removal pages.
