Catching the Possum


My roommates had described seeing this animal before and this had to be the animal that was living in my house. After some research I learned that possums typically live in crawl spaces of houses and climb around in the walls at night.  I was now determined to move this possum it could no longer live in my house. I did not want to kill the possum like Fredrick (the mouse) so I decided to set up a trap. My “genius” neighbors has the idea of setting up a trap made out of peanut butter and hotdogs. This could definitely work the hotdog would attract the possum and the peanut butter would catch the possum but making it’s fur sticking.  The next night I set out the trap, when I returned in the morning I found all the peanut butter was licked away and the hotdog was gone. The possum was smarter than me. Instead of a normal possum roaming around my house I now have a sticky one.
