Strange looking Opossum. Looks more like a rat
I have had good luck with the sticky traps.
+1 on traps, and peanut butter. I mix in oats to help it stick. One tip that I did pick up is that it pays to have multiple traps, and bait all of them for a few days to get rats over their bait shyness.We don't have o'possums up here... yet. They have moved into southern Maine though, I occasionally see them lying on the side of or in the middle of the road. It always leaves me to wonder... are they dead or just "playing possum".
I picked up one rat trap today. I have too many animals around to use conventional poison but have been wondering; since I know where both holes are if I could just run a garden hose into each one with the other end into the tailpipes of my pickups and get rid of them with CO1 poisoning.
Trouble with that is that you never know if you got them or not. No body, no crime, so to speak.We don't have o'possums up here... yet.

There it is! Cute little bugger isn't he? Glad you got him out of there before trapping began.
Australian possums are cute, ours look like greasy overgrown blondish rats.
Just wait...armadillos won't be far behind...!We don't have o'possums up here... yet. They have moved into southern Maine though, I occasionally see them lying on the side of or in the middle of the road. It always leaves me to wonder... are they dead or just "playing possum".
