Cost to Remove a Possum by Location
Removing a possum from the indoors compared to removing one outdoors doesn’t present much cost difference, if any. However, if you have a possum hiding in your attic or other enclosed space, expect to pay towards the higher end; the longer and more traps it takes to wrangle a possum increases costs.
Indoors
Prices vary quite a bit based on the possum’s indoor location. In most cases, you’ll remove a possum from your attic. In general, expect to pay about $250 for indoor possum removal. However, if you or the animal control specialist can’t immediately locate the possum, you’ll need to have traps set. This case increases costs up to $500.
Outdoors
Plan to pay $150 to $250 for outdoor possum removal, depending on its location. For example, a possum hanging out in your backyard may indicate a transient possum and doesn’t require an animal control specialist. If you see the same possum for several days, it’s time to call in a pro.
If you know a possum is squatting under your porch, call a pro and expect to pay within that $150 to $250 range.
