Opossums...The Devils Pets.
I have a dam full Family of these evil critters living in my attic. Can anyone give me an idea on how to rid my life of this Satans Spawn? They ate thru the roof. They come in at the break of Dawn and leave at night. They taunt me and my dogs. I clubed one to death in my pool shed, 5 Iron I believe...it tried to play dead WHACK WHACK WHACK...playtime was over.
Short of burning down the house and rebuilding, I'm sure the bastards would live in the ashes, does anyone have a good remedy to get rid of them?

B@tfinkV these are NOT like the lil soft lovely critters you have... these will fight back.

Invite me over and I will play doctor with them, PETA board style.
I'll bring my oxygen tank specifically for opossums

:rofl :rofl :rofl :cry
I think we need to go to the peta board and discuss it there :D
-
Large bowl of dog food + generous soak of antifreeze.
Bring gloves, shovel and garbage bags the next day.
But Meatwad's idea does sound more fun :aok

Boom..good opossum :D

ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:17 PM

brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:29 PM
im here!!!!!
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:29 PM
Btrittny?
meghanlauren 4/7/07 4:30 PM
i think possums do that, because they're scared, so they don't want you to think they're alive ... they probably think you're going to try to eat it and hurt it, so i think it's just 'playing dead'
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:33 PM
Look into it's eyes... if it doesn't blink... poke his/its eye with a fingr..
But get it on it's back cuz you need to save it.
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:35 PM
Is thew heart beatting?
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:35 PM
it didnt blink, but i turned it on its back. now what do i do. I hope it didnt die!!!1
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:37 PM
Grab the bac legs and hold them high okasy?
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:38 PM
You can save him... let me knoe when legs are up....
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:39 PM
um ok but wut does this do
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:40 PM
Get a good seal on his backside with yer lips and give 3 good puffs of air,,,, let me knoe when you did this.
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:42 PM
EWWWW
my dad has an air compressor, couldnt i just put it on low and do it that way
napalmtheory 4/7/07 4:42 PM
This has to be a joke.
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:44 PM
no im trying to help a possum that i dont want to see die. you must not care about animals
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:45 PM
anything you can Britt... just don't waste time...
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:46 PM
ok ill try the air thing
Posted By Date/Time
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:48 PM
OMG!!!!! it made this noise and now its running around the garage like crazy!11! It even hissed at me too.
What do I do now??????????
cekud 4/7/07 4:49 PM
It's probably a self defense mechanism. Possums can play dead for countless hours if they feel threatened. Especially if it's during the day time. It may wait until it feels comfortable and it's dark to continue on.
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 4:50 PM
Okay let me know when yer ready....
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:52 PM
it ran off to the corner of my dads garage. i stuck this air thing up its butt and pushed this lever on it. i guess i had it on too high cause it shot across the room liek 100 miles an hour.
now its running around like mad
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:54 PM
ok it stopped again i guess i didnt do it right, ill try it again
brittneydoe 4/7/07 4:57 PM
OMG NOOOOOO!!! *cries*
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:04 PM
manyanimalswonder are you good at knowng possum stuff?
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:04 PM
What Happened Brittny
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:05 PM
I dont know. All of a sudden its eyeballs went flying across the garage
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:05 PM
Did I do it wrong?
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:06 PM
OMG....how much air pressure did you uies...damm..OMG
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:07 PM
the needle said 150, its one of those really tall ones.
*cries*
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:08 PM
It died. Life is so unfair *cries*
your like 20 miles from me, can i ask u something?
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:10 PM
I have alotta Opossums here and watch Animal Planet alot...still have the Opossum Brittney?
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:11 PM
yes
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:13 PM
Can you ewwwww... still find it's eyes? They'll be slippery, kinda.
FrizzyRat 4/7/07 5:14 PM
Oh for crying out loud! You do know that when you apply that revival technique you are supposed to put a baloon over the poor possums head don't you??
No wonder it went shooting around the garage like that!
This is all manyanimalswonders fault . Don't you worry your pretty little head about it brittnydoe.
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:15 PM
i cant find them, my dad has too much junk
soccer12 4/7/07 5:17 PM
If they'd take it away, where would they take it? I suggest that you ask, and if they do something you don't like, then I don't know what else you could do.
soccer12 4/7/07 5:19 PM
Uhm.. Maybe turn a fan on in the garage to succulate the air. It might help the breathing
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:19 PM
You gotta find at least one Brittny... gotta give this lil guy a chance...Ohhh I feel sic.
ManyAnimalsWonder 4/7/07 5:20 PM
You gotta find at least one Brittny... gotta give this lil guy a chance...Ohhh I feel sic.
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:20 PM
It DIED!!!!!! *cries hysterically*
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:23 PM
You live about 20 miles from here dont you?
FrizzyRat 4/7/07 5:24 PM
It's probably not really dead, remember its a possum.
Do what manyanimalswonder says. Then put a baloon over it's head and try the air thing again (better turn the guage down to about 80 or so though). It should work this time.
Trust me I've seen this before.
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:27 PM
ok wait a min
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:30 PM
oops
brittneydoe 4/7/07 5:48 PM
It exploded *cries*
gotgod101 4/7/07 5:58 PM
dont freak out. havent you ever heard of possums playing dead? They do it when they're afraid of a hawk eating them because hawks like their meat fresh. They do it whenever they feal threatened too. Thanks for checking though, its really nice your worried about a possum...most people wouldnt be!

Ohhh I love yer Evil Minds!!!
I'm sick and tired of these Evil Bastages... If I call PETA do ya think...if I told them I'd kill everyone of them, that they's rescue them?
If not then after the antifreeze/dogfood thing I'll just drive by PETA and toss them out the window...with cute lil frikken collars on....
"Hi I'm Fluffy." "Hi I'm Cuddles" "Hi, Tickle me I'm Frikken Elmo"...
Them Bastages....

Oh good times.....good times!
I know the humane society back in Omaha had these traps that they'd let you borrow. We were trying to catch one but usually ended up with the neighbors cats.
-
Nope I missed those :(
Back then I was hardly active on the boards, I think I only made 50 posts the first year I signed up on the boards.
-
I'm sure there are other Peta boards.....that maybe a better target.
-
RTMutt and I served in Korea together. Lived in the same Hooch Area. We'd buy Rat traps and have to tie stings to them. Rats loved hotdogs. We'd sit drinking beer and hear *SNAP!!!!* the rat would run to the end of the string. Squeal you Bastage...
Cheap entertainment but it was great!

Paint it black with a white stripe down it's back, a skunk will bounce past, stop, then chase the painted possum with amorous intent. I saw that on a documentary once.

My insurance Company asked me once ..."Are you sure it's a Opossum and not a Squirrel?"
Look you bastard I'll catch one, kill it and leave it in yer frikken mailbox... yer postman will ldentify it... It'll then be a Federal attack upon a Postal worker and I don't really think a frikken Home Insurance Agency will defend you in a Attack upon the Federal Goverment Agent....
