Eww.
This must be karma for all the bad things we were saying about possums.

Hope there aren't any crawling around in my apartment... gonk
You could try those sticky rat traps. I bought some of those when I lived in Thailand. The only problem: the trap doesn't kill the critter, just leaves it stuck in the glue. I felt guilty throwing the little guys into the trash alive...

Poor poor possums! eek Here's me scooping up every bleedin' bug and rodent that crawls into my room because I can't stand to kill 'em (even wasps and I HATE wasps) and you're there first sticking them to sandpaper then frying them alive!
It IS karma.

Roobarb Poor poor possums! eek Here's me scooping up every bleedin' bug and rodent that crawls into my room because I can't stand to kill 'em (even wasps and I HATE wasps) and you're there first sticking them to sandpaper then frying them alive! I never killed any possums... just two mice. Plus a big lizard and a cute little bird that accidentally got stuck on the trap. I tried prying the bird off the glue, but... I believe that's what they call "collateral damage". neutral Anyway, I've got lots of bad karma accumulated from other things, so my horrors with the sticky traps are just a drop in the bucket...

isidar_mithram How can you bear to kill them!! Would you like it if someone came and set a sticky trap for you to fall in Yum Yum? Well, technically I didn't kill the two mice, because a stray cat came and took a few big bites out of them while they were stuck on the glue pan. And THANK GOD the damn cat didn't get stuck... as if I didn't feel bad enough already! As for the bird and lizard... uhh... they were alive when I dumped them in the trash... neutral Yeah, I really shouldn't have brought this up. Now I'm going to be hated and despised by animal lovers everywhere. Anyway, seffy, I recommend using rat poison. Just hope your possum(s) don't die in someplace inaccessible. Unless you don't mind the stench of rotting possum flesh. gonk

you guys are all freaks...
our landlord set out catch and relese traps. We put fruit in them and then he's going to take them someplace better to live. Like the 200 acre park down the road or out of town.
why the hell would I want to kill the things... I don't like um but I don't hate them ether. Besides they would die in the walls and I REALLY don't want that for another year before we plan to move.

I hope he found how they got in or they could come back.
I was wondering about cage-traps--my Dad used to catch rabbits with them & release them on the land used by the beagling club he was a member of back then.

Opossums are omnivores, they like roting fruit and meat, and insects. I'm not sure if they would eat cheese.. The reason that there are no opossums in england is because they are the only marsupial that is non-native to australia and its sorounding islands. Marsupials used to live in south america as well. But they were all crap at surviving with other more fast moving mamals, Except for the opossum.
