All things considered, your best option in dealing with a dead opossum’s body in your house is to call a professional to do the work for you. The task might seem trivial to some since the animal in question is already dead but this stuff is best done by professionals. There are health and safety precautions that should be in place. There are things to do before, during, and after the disposal of the carcass that a regular person without training would find very hard to comply with. For example, when a mother opossum dies, her children who are still dependent on her for survival would most likely die. A professional would know how to deal with this for you so that you don’t have several dead opossums stinking up your house several days later.

If you want to completely get rid of an opossum infestation, then you should call a trained professional to help you.
