Possums and rats

Post by PaulC »

Hi everyone, it has been only moments since I posted that I rearranged my collection, and after sitting down feeling good about it all, I hear a `CRASH`

Possums how I loathe these creatures.

They seem to eat ANYTHING!!

I have lost tops of trees ( bonsai), though feeding as well as curiousity.

Now suddenly, just as I turned off the lights...........CRASH!!

I lost a 10 year old juniper in a 30 year old pot over my balcony...........

The possum is safe......for now !!

For someone thats loves nature, im not a fan of this little teasure at all !!

And by `little` I mean a butt ugly large possum !!

Any remedy that isnt illegall, nor in humane ?

PS...goes for the bush rats as well.........one in............all in.


Thanks,

Regards,


Paul
