What Problems Can Possums Cause?

Possums may look harmless, but their presence can create serious issues for residential and commercial properties. Common problems caused by possum infestations include:




Ants invade kitchens and pantries, contaminating food by carrying bacteria from unsanitary places. This can pose health risks and lead to food wastage.

1. Food Contamination




Certain ant species, like carpenter ants, burrow into wood to create nests, weakening furniture, wooden structures, and even building foundations over time.

2. Structural Damage




Some ants, such as fire ants, deliver painful bites and stings that can cause allergic reactions, itching, and discomfort, especially for children and pets.

3. Painful Bites and Stings




Ants are attracted to electrical wiring and appliances, leading to short circuits, equipment failure, and potential fire hazards when they chew on wires.

4. Electrical Damage




Ant colonies grow quickly, and once they establish a nest, they can spread to different parts of your property, making eradication difficult without professional pest control.

5. Rapid Infestation Growth




For businesses, especially in the food industry, an ant infestation can damage reputation, lead to health code violations, and even cause financial losses..
