Engine compartment mod? Opossum issues

Spring is near and it's probably nesting to have little ones. Best get to exterminating.

 

I had a kitten camping out in that spot under the hood. Luckily he got to big to fit in there, and subsequently moved into the house.

 

Mothballs. I know it works for mice and rats. Otherwise trap it, then fill a trash can full of water.

 

Amazing!....

 

Camp out and shoot the ugly little bastard. Or if gunshots freak out the neighbors a havahart and a garbage can full of water works well too

 

Turn it into lunch.

 

i personaly have had great success with a 22 cb at short range.

 

I doubt its a opossum causing that. They do not build their own nests. Looks more like you may have squirrel problem.

 

I thought squirrels at first, I put a camera in the engine compartment. It's most definitely a opossum.

 

Last possum I encountered died of lead poisoning

 

Pics or it didn’t happen

 

That's crazy, I'm trying to picture a possum worm its way up the engine bay. I'd say trap again and take him further out but I like possums and wouldnt want to shoot one. We have them come up in our yard all the time due to our chicken coop but they're harmless, I built the coop like fort Knox so they just sniff around and move on.

 

You are kind. The world needs more like you.

 

Where did you park it? Did it sit for a long time?

 

Leave a radio playing where you park your truck. The sound tends to keep them and the trash pandas away.
