I have an old trailer house that is for storage, but its in poor shape
and I intend to demolish it this summer. Actually the roof is fine, but
the crappy particle board floor is just falling apart. I'ne replaced
parts of it over the years, but rather than constantly fixing that floor
which seems to be an endless job, I just built a pole shed which will
get a concrete floor. this summer. I ran out of decent weather last
fall, and didn't get the shed finished.

Anyhow, I went in the old trailer house to get some stuff, and expected
to find some mice, which have done a lot of damage in there. But I was
not expecting to come face to face to a hissing opossum.

I can see there is another bad spot in the floor (hole), so I know how
it got in, but before I nail something over that hole, I need to get the
opossum out.

This is a farm, so I can shoot it, but I'm not the best shot for one
thing, and I only have a single shot 22. I could borrow a better gun,
but I dont want to shoot inside the building, for several reasons.
First I'll damage the stuff stored in there, second, there are aerosol
cans of spray paint and other stuff that could explode if I hit one of
them. Plus I'll be making more holes in the building.

So, I'm looking for another method to get rid of this opossum. I'd like
to do it as humanely as possible, but will do whatever I must, since
it's already done a lot of damage by knocking things over and crapping
on stuff.

Any suggestions on what to use? Such as poison????
I do have a live trap (made for raccoons), so it's the right size. But
I have no idea what to bait it with for an opossum. But I'd really
prefer to use poison, because I dont really want to deal with a hissing
critter in the trap, which I'll have to somehow kill anyhow.
(There may be more than one of them too, but I did see one, and as soon
as I did, I got the hell out of there). Just the thought of going in
there to set a trap or something is making me uncomfortable. I'd rather
deal with a raccoon, they will usually run away, (inless they have a
nest of babies), but an opossum will attack a person any time.

Thanks for all suggestions.

Pipe the exhaust from a gas engine into the shed for about 15 minutes and it's "good night" for Mr. O' Possum.

Take a shallow pan and pour some ammonia into it so it evaporates. The
smell of the ammonia will drive the critters out of the area.

A radio set on country western. Leave that on overnight and problem gone

I've caught a zillion oppossums in live traps. They seem to eat anything. I've probably caught more on peanut butter than anything else. But almost any table scraps from dinner will be fine.

Yeah, they hiss, but they get comfortable in the trap, you have to shake them out, and they scuttle off. I've never had one even look like it might be aggressive.

They do eat mice, which might be why you don't have any.

You do NOT want to poison it. If it dies where you can't reach it, the carcass will smell for a month, maybe more.

Hint: even if you are a very bad shot, it's pretty easy to hit one in a trap. I've killed them that way with low power pellet guns, though usually I release them.

They're actually pretty amazing creatures and generally do more good
than harm - they eat critters that do cause harm. But I wouldn't want
one inside pooping around so try mothballs - that works with some
other creatures.

Peanut butter seems to work for all critters from mice to raccoons.

http://home.comcast.net/~frank.logullo/thief.pdf

This is groundhog size trap and can only catch smaller raccoons so you
do need a big trap.

Last time I put it out, I got a skunk, which is a whole other story.
Make sure you can open the trap from several feet away if this happens.

Seriously...

If you are going to demolish the house this summer, just leave the dang
thing alone. Even if you get rid of it, some other critter is just going
to get in there.

Years back I live trapped and relocated a whole hell of a lot of
squirrels and though my yard was empty for a week or so...before too
long I had more new ones than ever.


( I did at least get the holes in my eaves patched with sheet metal and
they did not get inside.)

I'd never poison either. Always worried that a dog would get at it and
die by eating it.

They roam at night. I wonder if you could just
wait until late at night and block the hole.
Failing that, put broccoli and peanut butter
in the trap. There's no need to kill it and there's
no need to get near it. Just plug the hole once
it's out, then, if it's in a cage simply open the
gate and walk away. The opossum will leave the
cage eventually, after you're gone.

When I was invaded by an opossum one night, it did not seem very

It stuck its nose out of the can when I picked it up, but retracted it

I dont have the source, some thing I read long
before there was Internet. But someone studied
cows and music. Turns out if you play rock and
roll, milk production goes down about 12%. If you
play classical symphonic, milk production goes
up about 12%. Country western, no change.

I've also heard that in downtown city convenience
stores, they have found tht playing classical
symphonic music on lound speakers is a big help.
Elderly white patrons (who tend to buy stuff and
who generally act with gracious and gentle manners)
are not affected by the symphonic music, or may
even stay longer and buy more. But, the classical
music tends to drive off the loitering, trouble
making urban coons.

And often the damage supposedly done by possums is actually done by
raccoons, but the raccoons leave and the possums get the blame.

The radio at the gym is usually tuned to one of the local rock stations. I
went in one Saturday morning when just one of the woners was here. She had a
classical station playing. I can attest classical music does absolutely
nothing for working out unless you prefer the SuperSlow regimen.

Possoms don't get rabies nor most other diseases. Their body
temperature is too low. Also, they have opposable thumbs on their feet
as well as their hands, so if that's mostly what makes us human,
they're twice as human as we are.

I'd heard about possums and probably saw them in zoos but I never ran into
one in the wild until I was working a contract in Fort Wayne. Sure enough,
it hissed, drooled, and played dead when I wasn't impressed.by the threats.
I put them right up there with blue heelers. God made the animal, looked at
the results, and said "Let's try that one again."

King snakes use the same tact. First they do a good impersonation of a
****ed off rattlesnake. If that doesn't seem to be working, they launch into
the dead snake act. King snakes are a lot prettier than possums though.

A radio set on country western. Leave that on overnight and problem gone

I dont have the source, some thing I read long
before there was Internet. But someone studied
cows and music. Turns out if you play rock and
roll, milk production goes down about 12%. If you
play classical symphonic, milk production goes
up about 12%. Country western, no change.

I've also heard that in downtown city convenience
stores, they have found tht playing classical
symphonic music on lound speakers is a big help.
Elderly white patrons (who tend to buy stuff and
who generally act with gracious and gentle manners)
are not affected by the symphonic music, or may
even stay longer and buy more. But, the classical
music tends to drive off the loitering, trouble
making urban coons.

I've noticed that elderly people of all colors tend to be gracious

And (at least after a bath) reasonably white.

I used to buy fresh meat (pork) from a small farm in central PA. John
kept a radio playing and a bowling ball in the pig pen. Said the pigs
entertained themselves by rolling the ball around. Don't know much
behind it but it sure was some of the best pork I ever ate.
We used to hang tires in the pig-pen and they'd bat them around with
their snouts by the our - like playing tetherball. Hogs are VERY smart
animals (unlike cattlebeasts)

Hogs are very intelligent. Wild ones can get hostile. Short story. Mom
sent me to cut a rope, hog hind leg tied to a tree buy a rope.

That SOB nearly ripped my Levi jeans off. I wasn't hurt and I did get
him cut loose.

I didn't witnesses it, but a former co-worker said his pit bull dog
took a cow down - grabbing the snout, mistaken when sent to take down
a hog... (Florida)

In Nevada you can shoot a hog on site..., dogs, guns and at night with
head lamps - no law protecting them the last time I checked.

A boss I worked for also owned a farm that had some pigs. One time he
went to a bowling alley and got a bunch of their old damaged bowling
balls for that very same purpose.

The only problem was he kept forgetting to give the balls to his pigs.
After a period of time the inside of his trunk looked like the
magnified surface of a golf ball. Guess what the outside surface of
his trunk looked like.

That mental image requires a twelve pack to
try and forget that for a few minutes.

I am not a possum.

A banana, or cheese. My opossums love cheese so much they
catch bits I throw at them.
After it's caught, release it somewhere. After all, you did
invite it in with the hole.
