Possum in the Scope

Henry - My neighbor had possums in his roof. As possums are nocturnal
and need to go out at night to forage, my neighbor first found the possum
entry hole (confirmed by seeing fur around the entry hole) then he waited
until it was dark for a couple of hours when the possums should have left
for their foraging and then he closed up the hole before the possums returned. It fixed his problem.

Ha Ha, that's how I got rid of Possums in our roof.
Over here you need a license to trap them, so it was easier this way.

Good story and glad it ended well!

I'm not sure where they're getting in. I've been within a few inches of one that sometimes sits inside the toilet wall. I've been on "the throne" and it taps or scratches the wall so I tap and scratch my side of the wall back. I think that possum might be getting in under the house but I haven't been under the house since I saw a brown snake near the back door.

Well I know there is at least 3 because I've heard 3 in different parts of the house at the same time.

Maybe they're feasting on the termites.

Maybe he/she wanted some company or was a little vain?

Glad that it didn't damage the mirrors.
