- NEW!

First the good news, possums keep the skunks away. Now the bad news, it's harder than heck to get rid of them. I've been trying for 6 years to get rid of a few that live in my crawl space under the house. They have burrowed in all my insulation under there. I heard a fight under the house one night.I know one of them died a few days later. Lord Of Mercy, the stench was unbearable! It died under the kitchen table area under the house. I had to close off that part of the house for 6 months. It was winter and I still had a fan in the kitchen window to keep the smell from creeping in our living area. I had a neighbor go under the house to see if he could find the body. But apparently it died somewhere in the insulation and he couldn't find it.
The funniest story I have about possums is when one of them was living under my shed. I threw a big box of mothballs all over the under area of the shed so he wouldn't go back under there. The next morning I found all the mothballs thrown out from under the shed. So I used the leaf blower and blew them all back under the shed. The next day, all the mothballs were out again from under the shed. I guess he didn't like the smell and tossed each one out of his 'den'. For all I know, he may be the one that actually 'moved' into my crawlspace. Last week I saw a young one under the workbench in the carport. I am so sick of them destroying my insulation and making creepy noises at night under the floor. Good luck with getting rid of your possum.

Does the sound of mice crawling under the floorboards/scuttling around under floorboards disgust you, annoy you or scare you?
