Opossum napping in the garage, what to do?

[manly]

(If I don't panic) I might be able to trap it, but is it even worth sending to the animal shelter? If so, it would survive a day in a cardboard box, no?

I know it would otherwise leave, but they seem to have a preference for our property.

Shoot it and eat it. Good ole Tennessee specialty.

My dad usually shoots them with his 4-10 shotgun....

 

[Anubis]

hit it with a shovel

Domesticate it.

I doubt the animal shelter would want your 'possum. If it's not hurt or sick you can probably scare it out of your garage, just don't touch it with your hands.

one word:

explosives

 

[Rage187]

Um, they are mean and will come after you. Stay back and scare it out of the garage.

You must Teabag it, don't forget to have a friend take a picture.

 

[Insane3D]

Nah, I encounter tham all the time when I do my security walkaround at work. They just look at you with this "oh sh!t" look, then skamper off. I would just leave him alone, or make some noise and he should take off.

Why kill it? Just because it's there?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Water hose. Let it go out into the wild afterwards.

We had a baby possum in the basement once. I just shuffled it up the stairs with a broom.. lol..

It's not a freakin' wolverine, it won't come after you.

Well, unless maybe it's a momma possum... lol


Oh, and don't bring it to an animal shelter, lol.. they'll think you're nuts.

Would it be better fried or broiled?

 

[OrganizedChaos]

Grilled (6min each side) with a pinch of jerk seasoning and a splash of tabasco.
