So, last winter, an opossum ate her way through the roof and deposited her babies.

We trapped her and dealt with the smell.

Well, they are at it again.
Flew the drone over the roof, and in the last two weeks, they have eaten their way through the shingles again.

End of rant.

Been happening all over the mobile home park. Opossums are the worst.

Trap and kill, it'll only get worse.

Get your wife's boyfriend to solve the problem next time he stops by. Somebody needs to be the man of the house, and it clearly isn't you.

Capture it and sell the babies to LSU baseball fans.

You should find out if that mother opossum chews on buckshot as readily as shingles.

I love opossums. I have like 4 that visit every night for food. They are great at eating ticks and stuff. They also almost never carry any diseases like rabies.

With that said, I can't imagine them inside the roof.

That is pretty wild.
