Thread: Trapping Possums with hold trap ??

keep cats inside at night and you wont have an issue....once you have caught a smelly ol possum in a trap and it has spent night peeing all around the show..(not to mention what else cums out when you preform brain surgery with hammer) this scent will attract other possums and should keep cat at bay. our cats would travel 1/2km from house during day. but were in beside fire at night. DONT feed cats in morning and take away the biscuit on demand feeder ,call them inside in arvo and feed them and keep them inside till morning. your traps will be reset in arvo and set off in morning so no issue there.
I didn't use bait "back in the day" as a teen using gin traps just good trap positioning and still had 50%ish catch rate on good night.
Timms kill traps are a good option close to house as they very quick to set(pull string) and unset (give a kick)
