New Orleans possum removal tip of the month: How to get opossums out from under a shed or porch - Getting opossums out from under something like a shed or a porch can be challenging. Any time you're working in a space that you don't have complete access to, thing can become tricky. Just remember that the opossum eventually wants to leave the porch or the shed area. It wants to come out and scavenge for food, and this is how you're going to catch it. Cage traps are highly effective for opossums, and because these animals aren't particularly fast or prone to lightening maneuvers, they can even be funneled toward a trap using some inexpensive garden or construction fencing. Bait your cage trap with something aromatic, like cat food or tuna, and then wait. If you've created a funnel system, you won't likely have to worry about other animals getting caught. Just remember, skunks and cats also like things like tuna and cat food, so be prepared to find another animal in the trap from time to time.
