Opossums are the only marsupial creatures that you will encounter in North America. They may share the same physical feature of a rat, but their size will be like your average house cat. They are armed with 50 strong teeth that they will use to defend themselves. You can encounter the opossum at the hidden spaces of your house and in your backyard. This is a major concern due to the possible threat that they can pose to our pets.



The Dangers of the Opossum to Our Pets
The opossums will not be powerful enough to spell serious troubles to our pets. Our dogs and cats can always avoid a conflict with the Georgia opossums. While they may bite our pets to retaliate from their attack, the major problem is the possible threat that they may carry. There are some evidences that exist that they can transmit disease.

Based on some reports, the opossums are possible carriers of the protozoal myeloencephalitis that will affect the horses. This parasite will directly attack the central nervous system of the horse. In order to avoid the transmission of the disease, cover the grain and the food of your horses. The Lawrenceville opossums may also be host to the fleas. This can jump to our household pets like dogs and cats.

The Bite of the Opossum
The opossum has a set of 50 teeth that can sink in to the soft skin of our pets. The animal will feel their painful bite once they are provoked. Generally, the opossums are known for their docile behavior and will only retaliate if they feel like they are threatened. Once you notice the opossums in your yard, you need to have some preventative measure to avoid a direct interaction between the creature and your pets.

Threat on Farms
The opossums can also threaten our crops and livestock. Opossums has a wide range of preferred food that will include poultry and corn. There have reported incidents of opossums raiding the chicken coop based on the report of the University of Massachusetts. Our turkey and ducks will also be helpless from the relentless attack of this pesky critter. To keep your farm animals safe from the Lawrenceville opossums, they should be placed in a completely secured pen and it should be beyond the reach of the wildlife creature.

The opossum will be a nuisance once it decided to hunt its food close to the human structure. They will then establish their nest within the premises since it provides them an easy access to food source. When attacked, the animal will be growling and hissing but it does not necessarily mean that they are aggressive. Most of the time, this is an act to intimidate their attackers. If this action failed to prevent the attack, they will go into shock wherein their body will go in a lifeless state. This makes the attack of the opossum relatively rare. However, it does not necessarily mean that it will not happen. It is your responsibility as a pet owner to keep your pets safeguarded.
