Thread: Possum paste lure recipe or ideas ?

If you are trapping somewhere damp or in a wet area in the winter then a chew card nailed above the trap can provide both the visual and scent lure and can be reused plenty of times. The possum dough filled chew cards are better than the peanut butter filled ones. Higher chew rat for possums and the rats don't like them as much.

I find aniseed is a good replacement for cinnamon
