We moved to a new house a few months ago. It is a big one and it has a big garden. It is sunny and we love it very much.
At night we go to bed before 11 o'clock. On the first night in the house we heard some noise. We thought it was a cat. The noise continued for some time. It did not take us long to discover that we had possums in the house.
A possum is an Australian animal. It is a bigger than a cat and looks like a big rat. It is very active at night. The problem is that possums can cause a lot of damage to houses. They can cause fires too. They have sharp teeth and can damage the roof. They fight with each other and make a noise at night.
In Australia you are not allowed to kill possums because there is not a big number of them nowadays. You can not use poison to kill them or shoot them. You can get yourself into trouble if you do so.
We rang the local council to ask what we could do. A lady told us on the phone that we could hire a possum man. This man is trained on how to catch possums. A possum man normally charges a few hundred dollars. The lady also said we could buy a possum trap from a shop and do the job ourselves. A possum trap costs about 120 dollars at the shops. She told us we could hire the possum trap from a shop for one week if we wanted to.
We went to a shop in Eltham. Eltham is a suburb in Melbourne. We asked to hire a possum trap for one week. The man in the shop told us it would cost 15 dollars per week to hire it. He gave us some advice on what to do. He told us to put a rotten apple inside the trap. He said that possums like apples and they can smell very well. He told us that when the possum is caught, it normally makes a lot of noise. He told us it could take some days to catch a possum. He told us to be careful when a possum is trapped. Possums can attack you if you come near them. He told us to take any possum we catch in the car and drive a few kilometres and set it free.
We took the trap home in the car. We used an apple to catch the possum. We put the possum trap in the attic. After one day, a possum was caught. It was inside the possum trap. It was making a lot of noise. It wanted to go out. We took the possum trap down to the garden. I took some pictures of the possum. The kids were so excited. They gave the possum some fruit to eat. They were scared of the possum too.
I took the possum that was inside the trap to the car. I drove for about 20 minutes. I stopped the car near a park. I took the trap outside and set the possum free. It ran fast to a nearby tree and climbed up.
Now I am happy I got rid of one possum. I need to go back home to try to catch the other members of the possum family.
