I have a possum that has decided my deck is a good place to hang out. We have seen him two nights in a row and both times my lab chased it away into a corner and wore her vocal cords out barking at it. Can they cause any problems? I don't want to have to deal with it if it won't be a problem, kind'a a cute critter actually. Not at all aggressive even when completely cornered. Mind you my lab wouldn't hurt anything, she'll just bark at it trying to figure out why it doesn't want to play.

Lucky, the possum around our neighbourhood is a nasty fellow.

 

Our possum eats our grapes and we find fecal matter all over the roof.

A .22 long rifle will dispatch the possum problem with a LOT less noise if your concerned with how loud the muzzle report will be.

 

Wild animals are never a good thing close the house.

We had one in our yard,but he departed when I introduced him to my hard rake,no all know ,but they fart similar to a skunk and can be VERY nasty when cornered,and they're not originally from around here ,so I had no problem helping him to depart....TC and tight lines all....

We had one around our pool during the spring thaw one year. Never saw him again after that day. They usually move on if there isn't any food around.

They do have wicked teeth.

considering i had a possum from baby to 2 years of age, i'm probably the only one here that would suggest relocating it. their life expectancy in the wild is only 18 months, so he won't be around long anyways.

 

it's amazing how easy it was to litter train him and it was like having a cat, but way cooler and more affectionate than most cats.

 

he tops the list for my coolest pet so far. :canadian:

you have low standards :whistling: . A possum is like a giant rat but twice as ugly and 3 times as mean. If you have found a gentle one you're lucky...most will fight back when cornered...that's when they meet Mr 9 iron

They are pretty much the same as raccoons. They will knock over all your garbarge and tear it apart to eat, leave poop EVERYWHERE, and they can get real mean when cornered. I had one that decided he would like to move in with me so I ended up trapping him and re-locating him on the other side of the QEW.
