[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 357749, member: 4092"] From above post link ! Environment NSW Use these instructions for removing the possum yourself. First, make sure it is a possum and not a rat or mouse - sprinkling flour near the manhole and checking the footprints will determine this - possums are the size of a cat. Next, set up an alternative home for the possum. You will need a nesting box - buy one from wildlife rescuers or build your own. Where possible, get inside your roof and locate the possum's nest. The nest, which has the scent of the possum, should be placed in the new possum house to encourage the possum to its new home. Encourage the possum to investigate his new home by putting pieces of fresh fruit in or near the nesting box. Locate a suitable tree in your garden to site the box, securing it at least 4 m up. Absolutely laughable :lol: what next ? You have to set up a half way house for possums in your roof and provide welfare and alternate housing ( sounds familiar ) . I reckon it may be handled a little differently in the NT ! [/QUOTE]
