Opossums Using Hole in Fascia to Access Attic


Opossums were using this deteriorated and clawed-open hole in a wooden fascia board to gain
access to the attic of this home.


Inside the attic, I find the mother opossum and she's only got two young with her. I removed
the young using a long snare pole, but the mother ran away to an inaccessible part of the
attic.


I set a one-way door on the hole, and trapped the mother opossum in a cage set on the roof
right above the hole. After all of the opossums are gone and no more noise is heard, I seal
up the hole permanently with brown metal flashing. Problem solved.
