How Opossums Get Into Your Attic
Opossums often take advantage of existing openings and vulnerable areas around a home.
Opossums are capable climbers and may enter attics through damaged roof vents, soffits, roof returns, fascia gaps, and other accessible openings. They can also take shelter beneath homes, decks, and other structures when access is available.
Roof Vents
Damaged or unsecured roof vents can provide opossums with access into the attic.
Soffits & Roof Returns
Open or damaged areas along the roofline can provide an entry point into the structure.
Fascia Gaps & Openings
Existing gaps and damaged materials can give opossums access to sheltered areas of the home.
