Possums

Spray it with blood meal. At work we use a product called Plantskydd on our new seedlings. Actually witnessed it work. Deer came up to row of trees, sniffed the air, then turned tale and ran.

Maybe work for your possums.

I used to have a little wire haired mutt named Biscuit. She kept possums, coons n such out of the yard. I sure miss her.

Carry a pistol whenever you go get firewood. Or, you could set it on fire and burn them out!! LOL

I always had trouble with possums in the hen house every winter when we still had chickens. Them dang critters would spoil my Sunday morning breakfast by getting to the eggs before me.

Problem was at the time was the choice I had of weaponry. The anti gun nurse wouldn't let me own a .22. I would be browsing for .17 at the local Wally world and the salesman would say he could have me approved by the time we got done shopping, but the nurse would grab me by the ear and pull me outa thar.

So all I had at the time was a 12 gauge (it was grandfathered in as I had that gun previously) or a garden weasel. The shotgun kinda made a mess of things at point blank range and after about the third possum the garden weasel broke. Wasn't designed for possums I guess. A friend finally felt sorry for me and gave me High Standard .22 that I plan to give to Thad someday.

I still gots my A/C but it's clear out in the barn now.

Pitch fork works well on possum.

Poke em, Gut em, Roast em.

I've got a harbor freight breaker bar that has killed 7 possum and 3 coins. I have yet to put a socket on it though

hi my names dan, I am a young guy. i have a problem, i prefer my tractors orange and my clutches mechanical, thanks for letting me share

Got a possum problem of my own. We inherited a tomcat earlier in the year and for the most part was an indoor city cat. Started letting him go outside at night to get him accustomed to the great outdoors here in the woods. Don't know what happened and his conversations with the other varmint friends he has met up with but he started thinking the litter box was a mere suggestion. Well his indoor squatting days are over. Nothing will convince you more than the wife screaming about cat piss in her boots.

So I made the SOB a box on the back porch on a table with a specifically designed cat heating pad ($25) so he won't immediately freeze to death. Well his food is out there too. Has to be, eats more that I do, about a #15 cat. He has left me some rats and mice he has assassinated.

Now we have a possum problem eating the cat food. He is a big sucker too. Waylayed him with a broom several times but give it 2 days and he will be back. Gonna have to get the artillery out. Sons ex had a pet possum, actually they aren't to bad as pets. This one ran off and joined the other possum thugs that roamed the area.

I like John's suggestion. That possum just needs to go for a little ride. Wink

I have one of those pet heating pads under the barn cat's bed. Hard telling how many hours she ha spent on it.
