I heard a strange noise this morning at around 5am. Thought it was ROMFT farting as he was sleeping on the sofa in the family room after being too pished to make it to bed:rolleyes:

Turns out it was a possum

Possum farts

Looks good

Someone at work has suggested that I call the ranger and the shire will lend me a trap

Strong pair of gardening gloves and a big sack. And block up the possum sized hole that allows him into the loft. The DH had to remove one that had taken up residence in our slow combustion stove on his recent holiday back in Canberra and then make a possum proof cap for the chimney. They are stinky little beggars and will pee constantly as you remove them (so perhaps a large plastic bin bag or you'll have a smelly pee trail as you trek it through the house and out the door!)

Are you sure it's a possum?

We get rats. Don't do what I did, I accidentally poisoned our pet rabbit yesterday. My kids are gutted, I'm pretty upset too. That rabbit was cool.

It's a Possum. I had a look up there yesterday evening and saw him/her

No poison. He don't deserve to die
