Possums in the walls/attic.

Opossums can be nasty rabid little creatures.
My advice would be a #2 conibear, and even then I'd wear gloves for the disposal.
While mushroom hunting once in central Fla I watched one crawl out of a decomposing cow's nether region.
I've not ever consider eating one after seeing that. :spew:

I had racoons and possums, used a trap and caught a few and tag them with spray paint to see if they came back... they did.
Lets just say I wasn't so nice the next time around.
i did that same thing. little sons of bitches. i hate raccoons. :eyesmoke:

If I were in a more rural area I would probably go in the .22 long barrel with a full weight bullet direction. They walk along fences slow enough for a one shot kill. I read that Oct-Jan you can be pretty sure they will not be carrying their young.

I hear shit in my ceiling in my room all the time, a skitter and scratch type sound. It's either bats or mice/rats neither of which I really have a problem with. Sometimes it's right above my bed though just before I fall asleep, and I get all paranoid thinking whatever it is is gonna come through the ceiling and flip out in my room or land on me, and that would not be cool. If you're allowed and able (didn't read yet if the issue is resolved but if it is for future reference) I would take a decent pellet gun and blast them. I have an awesome .22 pellet gun for pest control around me because I like the subtle approach unlike the rest of my family. My pop once unloaded a freaking 12 gauge in his garage/gas station (the type that he repairs and fills cars...for a living...) to kill a bat flying around in it. He shot off like 6 shots before he killed it, the bullet holes are still there lol. I wasn't alive when it happened but it must have been hilarious watching this tiny white guy running around blasting the shit out of the place trying to kill a single bat.:lol:

Unless of course you're into BDSM, then I'm sure it's just to spice things up:hump:
I don't think I could capsicum.

I vaguely remember Preparation H trying to partner with Tabasco. There was no market for Fire In the Hole. cn

Opossums are tough.

Trapped one and this time I didn't use humane actions to free him.

Stuck a 6' metal spike into his skull, the thing was still alive a day later.

Why the [questionable vocabulary] didn't you finish the poor bastard off? cn

I think I got them out... I haven't heard them since one left last night. I plugged the hole shortly after it left.

It was spouting some nonsense about the deficit. ?. We'll see.
