Many of California's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard.

Gilroy Wildlife Removal Tip: Is Opossum Feces Dangerous To Touch Or Breathe?

There are many different problems that you will need to deal with if you are cleaning up after an opossum infestation, or even if you are starting out with the work of trapping the animals. Like many other animals, there are certain diseases that can be transmitted by the feces, and some of these can become airborne as well as those diseases that are transmitted by direct contact with the feces. If you are going to be dealing with an opossum problem, make sure you take the right precautions to avoid the dangers that can come with resolving an infestation.

Diseases Found In Opossum Feces

While opossums are not as good a carrier for bacteria as other animal species, there are still a few diseases that can be found in the feces, and one of the most common is salmonella which can be transmitted through feces and urine, and causes severe vomiting. Leptospirosis is another problem that is found in the feces, and the spores from this bacteria can become airborne when the feces is disturbed during cleaning, causing lung disease, meningitis and even kidney failure. While it doesn't affect humans, those who come into contact may also wish to take care as Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis is also transmitted by opossum feces, which can be very harmful to horses.

Precautions To Take When Dealing With Opossum Feces

The first thing to remember when you are likely to come into contact with almost any animal feces is the threat of leptospirosis, so it is important to make sure that you wear protective goggles and a breathing mask. Make sure that you wear gloves and are fully covered with as little bare skin as possible, and make sure that you have a sealable container or bags that are airtight in which to place the feces.

Disposing Of Opossum Feces

Once you have collected all of the feces, then it is important that you dispose of them safely, as you will not want to simply want to pass on the threat of disease on to somebody else. If the bags or sealed containers are secure, then you can place the feces out in a garbage bag, or it can also be incinerated which will also safely dispose of the material. If you were cleaning the opossum feces from a domestic property, you may also want to consider whether any contaminated material such as insulation needs to be removed as well, while any areas the opossum has been present should be disinfected.
