Saying No to a Possum Infestation!

• Research shows that possum faeces contain bacteria that can cause flesh-eating ulcers.
• Exposure to their faeces can leave a person with a long-term functional disability.
• It is illegal to kill a possum, therefore when tackling a possum infestation you need to observe the utmost care.

When it comes to possum control, the above 3 facts are perhaps the most important things you need to keep in mind. Now, this doesn’t mean that you are doomed! There is hope!

They are the worst kind of pest to have. They cause damage to your home as well as your health with the smell of their urine and faeces. Not just that! They can be rather alarming to come in contact with since they resemble giant rats. What’s worse is that they have 2 defensive behaviours:

• their stand on their 2 feet and bare their teeth.
• or they play dead by lying on the floor.

And in both situations, any person wouldn’t know what to expect next or what to do from there on.

And you can imagine if this situation is hard to tackle for a regular person just how difficult it might be if you have pregnant women/old people/ children/ pets in your family. Having vulnerable immunity systems, they can develop great health complications. Do you really want to take that risk?

No, right! Now while they are generally perceived as harmless, the true gravity of the destruction they are capable of is only known when they try making your home theirs

Possum Spells Pest

These Pesky Creatures can be Found in the Following Places:

• Rooftops and ceiling voids. They tend to build their nests there and find their way around the house.
• Near furniture to your electrical and cable wires, causing damages that will truly burn holes in your pockets. There have been many instances of infestation leading to nasty fires.

Oh and let’s not forget the pets! They can be a real pain for your pet to deal with. While small, they are quite aggressive in nature and can keep your pet up at night in a battle of grunting, hissing, howling and screeching. What’s worse is that being from the wild, they tend to carry ticks and fleas and leave no stone unturned to transfer it to your pet. Long story short, not only do you have to handle the destruction caused by them living in your home you also will have on hand the damage caused by an anxiety-stricken pet.

And that’s not even including the problem you will have thanks to the bacteria they bring along with them. Yes, you read right, as a host, possums also carry germs that once inside your home, spread diseases that you wouldn’t want yourself or your kids to be exposed to. Not to mention the disaster that will strike if they defecate or urinate into your water supply!

Yes, that does seem like a lot to deal with!
