   There is a huge difference between controlling a population and eradicating it. With current methods eradication is not an option. When I was still in the pest control we were trying to eradicate...

   You're doing well. I don't think you're scaring the possums off, more like trapping the local area out for a short time. They have fairly distinct home ranges and they can take a few days to...

   Well Scotsman you have been busy and doing very well. Trapping and shooting around those pine blocks when the catkins are out is a productive time, possums travel miles for the new buds. The catkins...

    Sounds to me like you've got it sussed, well done for getting out there and making a decent go of it. When I'm trapping down here in the mainland I can run about 100 - 120 traps comfortably for a...

    If you are having the traps go off and no possum you possibly are setting to far from tree, I set a hand width from the trunk, another possible cause could be not having the trap stable and the...

    It's a hard call on whether there is enough land for you till after winter, if there are high numbers you may be able to stretch it out ok. Depending on how many possums you are catching I think a...
