Pictures and Descriptions of Opossum Poop Feces, Scat Droppings

Opossum feces typically resemble small, dark pellets that are about 1/4 inch in diameter. They are often found in clusters or groups, rather than scattered individually. The feces may have a slightly glossy or wet appearance and may have a strong, musky odor. Some people have described opossum feces as looking similar to dog droppings, but smaller and with a more uniform shape. It's important to note that if you suspect opossum feces in your property, it's best to contact a professional for proper identification and removal. It's also important to mention that it is not safe to handle opossum feces without proper protection and sanitation measures as they may carry diseases such as salmonella or leptospirosis

MOST COMMONLY LOOKS LIKE CAT POOP

Possum poop is usually blackish or very dark brown and can look like the feces of a small cat or dog. You may find bits of paper or garbage in the poop because these animals can be scavengers if their normal food source is not available.

Possum feces is usually found in a pile or in a row of broken droppings. Undigested berries and other materials may be present in the poop. Younger immature possums will have smaller poop but it will look similarly to the adult possum poop.

Are There Bacterias Associated With Possom Poop?

Yes. Leptospirosis is a disease that prevents flu-like symptoms and lives in the bacteria inside possum poop. Do not touch possum poop with your hands by any means. Our technicians use heavy gear as well as face, lung, and eye protection to remove animal feces for this reason, and take extra caution with feces disposal. Double-bagging and disposing of the feces according to local laws is only the beginning of the process to remove possum poop from your home.

Picking up the droppings is not enough to have done the job of removing possum feces properly. We use industrial strength machines to filter the air and flean it with antimicrobial spray to restore the air quality in attics and homes that experience possum infestation and feces damage. Insualtion and drywall will soak up this horrible mix of urine and feces and be beyond sterilization.
