opossum got in my house through the back door. How do I remove it?

The 'Possum Pages: FAQs
If there is no time to call animal control, you may be able to coax it out with a broom. Try to avoid hurting the animal, but simply attempt just to urge him along. Sometimes they can become quite stubborn and hide under a table or couch, looking very fearsome by baring their 50 teeth. I once removed an opossum from a neighbor's house by cautiously picking it up by the tail, but I did have on heavy gloves. Opossums usually will not bite, but they certainly can if given the opportunity.

You must not kill, injure or disturb bats wherever they are found. Bats in the loft or shed of your house should be left in peace. SNH must be contacted at once to advise on how to proceed if you are planning to do anything that might affect bats, or discover bats in your house when carrying out building work. If a bat enters the living areas of your house it is best to open the windows and leave it to find its own way out. If it is daytime and it is sleeping, it will leave at night.

Damage could occur to public and private property, the truck itself, or YOUR CAR.

How do I get rid of a bothersome opossum?

The 'Possum Pages: FAQs
First of all, it is never necessary to kill the animal. The kindest way to remove an opossum is to set a Have-A-Heart trap baited with tinned cat food. These are harmless traps that can be obtained at many hardware or farm supply stores or from some rent-all establishments. Once the opossum has been captured, it can be taken to a remote area and released.

Do you have any recipes for cooking opossum?

The 'Possum Pages: FAQs
If I did, I wouldn't give them to you. Although some people do eat opossum (it is said to taste a lot like pork), I simply don't subscribe to the idea. One word of caution, however, to those who insist on trying to make a meal of the critter: Opossums should not simply be killed and eaten because they do sometimes consume carrion. Instead, they should be captured and fed table scraps and other clean food until the carrion is out of their system.
