Brock Township is Durham Region's northernmost and most rural municipality, stretching along the eastern shore of Lake Simcoe and encompassing the communities of Beaverton, Cannington, and Sunderland. The township's vast agricultural landscape, forests, and lakefront support thriving wildlife populations that regularly interact with residential and farm properties. Heritage village homes in all three communities face chronic mouse entry through century-old stone and brick foundations, while agricultural properties deal with barn rats, wasps in outbuildings, and wildlife that treats human structures as convenient shelter. Lakefront properties near Beaverton and the Thorah Island area contend with moisture-driven carpenter ants and seasonal pest pressures. PestRecord connects Brock Township residents with licensed pest control professionals.
Our Opossum Removal Process in Brock
Inspection
The technician inspects the perimeter of the structure for all gaps and potential entry points. Opossums can fit through surprisingly small spaces — any gap 3 inches or larger is a potential entry point. The den location is confirmed by tracking and activity signs.
Treatment
One-way exclusion doors or funnels are placed over the active entry point(s). Opossums exit to forage at night but cannot return. Opossums typically vacate within 2–4 days.
Prevention
Every gap and hole around the structure perimeter gets sealed: foundation cracks, gaps between the structure and the ground, and any opening 3 inches or larger. L-shaped mesh screening buried around the perimeter prevents future digging under the structure.
Signs You Need Opossum Removal in Brock
-
Opossum tracks (hand-shaped prints with opposable thumbs on the hind feet) in mud or soft soil near the foundation
-
A gap or hole under a deck, porch, shed, or concrete slab that was not there before
-
Garbage cans tipped over and rifled through in the morning
-
Damage to garden produce — tomatoes, strawberries, corn — eaten or partially consumed
-
Noise under a deck or porch at night — opossums are nocturnal and quiet compared to raccoons
-
Visible opossums near the property at dusk or early evening
Why Hire a Professional in Brock
-
Opossums exploit any gap. A professional inspects the entire perimeter and seals every potential entry point, not just the one obvious hole.
-
Opossums can carry parasites — fleas, mites, and ticks — that transfer to pets and humans. Professional exclusion removes the animal and eliminates the parasite risk.
-
One-way door exclusion is legal and effective for opossums. Cage trapping is less reliable and opossums can be difficult to trap.
-
Sealing gaps without removing the opossum first just traps it under your structure. Exclusion first, then sealing — in that order.
-
Opossums can be slow to vacate a den. A professional has the patience and knowledge to confirm the animal is gone before sealing.
