possums and rats

Posted 221 days ago

hi

we have possums and rats living in our roof and i was just wondering if anyone would know if we put rat baits in there to kill the rats would the possums eat the bait as well, if so does anyone know of another option we could try without hurting the possums.

its great watching vegies grow from scratch especially when you planted them yourself and if they survive the rabbits

What a problem you have! If you can find where the possums are getting in and out, try blocking the hole at night when they have left for the evening. Once you are sure they cannot get back in the roof then you can leave baits for the rats.

That's all I can think of to solve your problem. Hope it's some help.

thanks pomolo

we might have to do that as we dont want to hurt the possums, i will have to wait for a little while though seeing as though my hubby is the only one who can get up there and he isnt exactly on two feet at the moment.
