Possums Don't Just "Pass Through" — They Build Nests

Possums have a reputation for moving on quickly, but that's not always how it plays out. When they find a sheltered spot, they settle in and build nests. The places they choose tend to be out of sight and easy to overlook:

• Underneath decks and porches
• Inside crawlspaces
• In and around insulation
• Behind stored items in outbuildings

The bigger issue isn't the animal — it's what the nesting does to your home over time. Nesting materials trap moisture against wood and insulation, and persistent moisture is one of the fastest ways to develop mold and structural rot. By the time there's a smell or a visible sign, the damage is usually already progressing. If you've noticed anything unusual under your home or around your foundation, a free inspection from Titus is the right first step.
