(O)'possum under the house
Posted on 9/20/10 at 3:07 pm

What do you do when one of these bastards holes up under your house?
If I shoot him, I'll have to crawl under there to get him.
Last time I had one, my dog went in there after him and got scratched up.
I guess a pellet in the arse would send it running but not kill it.
Any other ideas?

let him stay under there
I don't have one now, but it's happened a few times and I found out they were there b/c I heard them scratching at the underside of my floors.
No way I'm letting one of those nasty creatures live under my house if there's a way to get them out.
I just had an idea: speargun. What's the range on those things?

Depending on where you live, you can call animal control and they will come get him out.

You're probably right, but I don't like the idea of inviting public servants over to my house unless it's absolutely necessary.

as a mailman i find this very offensive

Moth balls!! One box of moth balls will do the trick unless it is an above average size house. This works for all type critters including snakes.

put some peanut butter in a have a heart trap. he goes in to get the peanut butter and gets trapped. if you want to kill him in the trap or carry him off somewhere to let him go, that is up to you.

I'm sure you were joking about the spear gun but you are not supposed to fire one out of water. The guy I got mine from said that the recoil was enough to knock your teeth out if you fired it out of water.

If anything, use a bowfishing bow

My in-law's found out they had a possum under their house. The biggest problem ended with 5 of those nasty bastards not just one.

I'm picturing this guy shooting a possum with this under his house and cannot stop laughing

Like the guy above be said, he'll lose all his teefs if he tries this

I gotta get me one of those, I didn't realize they were so powerful(makes sense), no more blood trailing deer!

Yes it does, now that I think about it.
Besides, I'm pretty sure a possum would scream if I shot it with one of those. I don't like possums, but I don't want to do that.
