We need more Fuifuis and less Poores, who agrees

[Gronk]

I've already offered you my nail gun for that.

Suity

Yes but what if the possum disarms me in a scuffle ?

You think we are weird, you should visit Hay.

Still having a possum problem? I've already wished you good luck with it so I'm stuck for advice.......

Yep. He was in my fireplace on Saturday so I torched him. He complained a bit and then scurried up the chimney. I found him in the roof space looking very pleased with himself.

I've had a pest guy in with a cage and fruit and that didn't work. I'm thinking feral cat in the roof space is the only answer !

 

[The Colonel]

My dog is good with possums but at 45kgs she may do some damage to your roof. Posting her to Sydney may cause issues too.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I can lend you an extension ladder if it'll help.

Suity

I've got an extension ladder in my pants.

My kids have a toy poodle. How do you think he'd do ? :lol:

In Sydney, even if you catch a possum legally, you are only allowed to release them a max distance of 500 odd metres away from the catch site. It's a stupid law.
You can get a lisenced guy in to catch it but most will charge a pretty penny. Even then the release distance doesn't change.
Before you do that though, put a couple of bright lights in the roof cavity. As bright a light as you can get without costing a fortune to run. A spotlight often works but you dont want dark areas so two lights are often needed, shining from either end. Usually, after 3 days to a week said possum would have got the sh*ts, disappeared and become the problem to somebody further down the street. ;-)

And for christ's sake...please don't burn your house down in the process.

My dog tried to have sex with possums, infact my dog tries to have sex with everyone, just ask eelz47...

A coworker tells me it's more like 25m???? Either way, unless you give them a deterrent the bastards will come back!!

 

[parra pete]

Why don't you throw some tarps over Parra Stadium.

Suity

Sorry mis read that..I thought you said 'turps"...

Don't worry, Kev's got that covered. ;-)

As for possums, I love them. They always have their babies in my shed out back and they let me play with them as long as I feed them some fruit. Whenever I have a party they hang around the front porch waiting for a feed from my guests and if I leave me front door open they waltz on in, sit on my couch and chill out until I feel like getting up off my arse and getting them some fruit.

 

[Bigfella]

Even 25m is a fair way if you go straight down.

So, do they enjoy Toohey's Old?

[Parra Guru]

We're just keeping this worthwhile thread alive

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Suity

Not too partial to the Nectar of the Gods.

They don't mind a bit of water, fruit juice or cordial, though. Just remember not to feed them bread as it gives them those facey bump things.
