I have been beaten by a possum….and yes, I know I spelled it
wrong…on some level I am claiming it as a victory because every other way he/she
has won and I have had to contact a professional. The buggar thinks he has won, but I have
pulled out the big guns and my wallet!
I understand what these
creatures are docile and a good thing for the environment, but…they are a BAD
thing for my attic and my cat. Two
rather expensive trips to the vet's office, treating Not My Cat for bites and
scratches created by most certainly “something than another cat” combined
with my sighting of a possum in the back yard, a torn soffit vent screen, and my
son actually seeing possum poop in the attic has confirmed beyond a shadow of a
doubt that there is a “freeloader” wreaking havoc at my house! And then the possum catcher said there is a
chance the possum urine may seep through the insulation and the ceiling
drywall. GROSSSSSS!!! As it turns out…attic possum catchers may
fall right under plumbers and electricians when it comes to the cost of
service. But here I am in the middle of
possum remediation, including animal removal, sanitation, mitigation, and
securing all possible entry points. My
only hope at this point is that my empty wallet will equal an empty attic! I really hate being a grown-up sometimes! Nobody ever explained this part of living alone!
