As I was tidying up on Tuesday, I picked up a plastic bag with plastic bags inside it. For some reason I pulled out all the bags. Inside one of the bags I felt something. It was a check and receipt from a purchase. AND, two $5 bills. $10!
This was more of a save than gain. But, it could have been a loss. I am counting it.
My garbage and recycling have been the target of animals. I find recycling under the house! Saturday night, garbage was strewn all over the yard, front and back. Thankfully, the mower guy picked it up without complaining. He says it is 'possums and not raccoons. He says that his yard is overrun with 'possums and is sure that is what is getting into my trash.
Last Sunday, I set the trap for raccoons with strawberry. Monday morning, both the pieces of strawberry were still there. It is surprising that a ground squirrel, tree squirrel, or something did not fall for the bait once it was daylight. Tuesday, the strawberries are still in the trap. Okay, Tuesday afternoon both pieces of strawberry were gone, but the trap was not tripped.
Animal Control might give me hints for what I should put in the trap. And, the Internet could help me. If you have had 'opossums and successfully gotten rid of them, how did you do it? I don't need a link. Okay, he said tuna or sardines. I will catch cats with that!
Today was supposed to be lunch day, but they cancelled it. The moved it back to last Tuesday!
What has worked for you when you caught a 'possum?
I have never had to catch a possum. I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving .
ReplyDeleteMs. Sandie,
DeleteI guess I don't HAVE to catch this one. But, I cannot pick up garbage...lol. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.
Hi Linda, have a happy Thanksgiving. I have to bag any garbage and store it in the freezer til trash day. So save those bags and wrap it 2x. I know it seems a little "ickie" but the raccoon that was in my yard looked like a bear cub from feasting on garbage. Also try a piece of apple with peanut butter. And be careful...possums are not very friendly when caught in a cage.Barb in PA
ReplyDeleteBarb,
DeleteI suppose I will have to go buy a freezer to store garbage. It is not as icky as picking up garbage from the yard, garbage that has chew marks! The animal control man said one of my raccoons I caught was huge!
Hi Linda
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have possums in the Uk, or raccoons but we do have badgers, foxes and hedgehogs. We live in a city but still get them coming into the garden. They don’t do damage though so I’m always pleased to see them.
Happy Thanksgiving X
I live in a city of about 16K and raccoons and possums are common pests. The problem is that people feed them! Thanks
DeleteWe had possoms and raccoons in our old neck of the woods, but never had them getting in our garbage can, so never had to try to catch them. DD said they just had some raccoons chew through their garbage can lid.
ReplyDeleteI suppose those raccoons got their food from someone who fed them. They will chew their way though the siding, insulation, and wall if they really want inside!
