Q: What baits are unsafe or illegal to use for possums?

• <div><p>You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties.

Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.</p></div>

Q: What can be mistaken for rat poop?
