Think this one is more fiction than fact.This is not as crazy as it sounds....possums hate bright light, that's why the buggers only come out at night right...Put a couple of flouros up in the roof on a timer....they'll hate it...

Shooting works but tends to upset some folks (and the possums!).Bull....possums don't really bite....but they've got claws that'll rip you to shreds if you try to grab them.

And panadol kills them......................Another dumb idea....if the thing dies up in the roof and you can't get at it....it'll stink like all hell....In short, the best way is to block off all points of entry into the roof...bar one...wait till they leave at night and then block it off too.That way they wont get trapped and die in your roof....Lastly...put up a couple of possum boxes up in the trees nearby....gives them an alternative to your roof.

Quick n easy. Here in NZ they are a pest, bait around the place with aniseed and bread rolled into 1 inch balls for a week, then on the 8th day a blob of cyanide on each ball. They wont travel more than 3 meters before they die.
