Several years ago, we somehow got an infestation of mice. We have a bowl we keep fruit in on the kitchen counter, and I saw a banana with the end eaten off. I think that they must have come in through the attached garage. I used those glue strips with peanut butter and caught 8 mice in two days. I put the traps out early like at 8 PM thinking that I would maybe catch one during the night while we were sleeping. Five minutes later with all the lights on, people and dogs walking around, I have a mouse, then another and another. It was nuts. I couldn't believe that they would come out with so much activity. I also was surprised that we could wipe out the whole colony so easily.

Possums are another story. I have a live trap that I occasionally employ in the yard when the population gets out of control. I have caught and relocated 8 possums and 3 raccoons to a local park. I just put a small bowl of cat food in the trap and the next morning I have a possum, raccoon or a cat. Of course the cats just get released. I could probably catch a possum a night if I wanted to. Most nights, if you shine a light along my back fence, there will be a possum.

We have only had a possum in the house once. We were ripping the carpet out of our living room and had the front door and garage door open. I came in the kitchen and there was a possum in the corner. I chased him out with a broom.
