We've a similar problem but it's in the roof space above our bed. Put some rat poison up tonight which should hopefully sort it.
When I opened the hatch there were loads of spider webs so just threw the poison up and shut the hatch quick!!!

Hello Aston

I thought you told me that you were giving up on this tintenet thing.

Could be cockroaches. We've had loads around the house this week.

If you think it sounds too loud for cockroaches then it could be a nest of them emerging from their summer sleep.

It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

Keep the bug spray handy.

We have magpies that make more noise than the possums, reckon they have little hob nailed boots..

Also found a scorpion in the closet last week, big black one, needless to say despite the fact it prefered the Mrs closet i had to remove it..

problem with putting poison in the roof space is that it will kill the possums... then they reek like hell for ages.. then you will have to go up there with all those spiders! Maybe you should smoke them out (without setting fire to the roof)

Don't talk to me about scorpions!! We found another one in the lounge last week by our 2yr old's beanbag. Luckily the kitten had pretty well killed it by the time we found it. Now we're being invaded by portuguese millipedes and mice/rats gnawing in the roof space!!!

I'll have $5 on a possum.

Look for access holes into the roof space. Dont necessarily block up as you could lock them in! Set a trail of apple from the hole somewhere else - then block up the hole. The droppings will give them away. Oh and possum pee stinks apparently!

Please dont poison them.

Have you tried calling the ranger?
