Wongo 4 : possums 0

Well, having read this thread I decided a control test needed to be done. Another species is required to poo in the roof and, since the dog fell off the ladder and wouldn't go back up again, I was it.

Sneaking up late one night, a tile was slid out of place and a comfortable position was attained. I must say, a better view is to be had on the roof than in the usual commode.

Since diet hadn't been mentioned I thought the best approach was to use whatever ammunition was to hand. A fond recollection of the previous nights curry was quickly cut short by a stomach cramp and a not so minor explosion of said test material. Holy jalapenos Batman, ya gotta stop eating that stuff!

The primal scream caused several walkers to pause in their tracks, one old lady picked up her dog and hurried off into the night. But, I digress, back to the testing.

With the bait laid, the tile was slid back into place, sealing any little creatures in a chamber of horror, and egress from the roof was attempted. Part way down I had to hide behind a drain as a police cruiser rolled by, shining a searchlight into the bushes. Apparently the old lady had a phone and was willing to use it.

Well, this stuff works incredibly well, much better than snake poo. After a week of constant heat, not only have the possums left, but a dog and cat chase came to a screeching halt 30 feet from the house, with them both turning tail and running off together howling and spitting. I haven't seen the family for three days and the neighbors seem to be off on holidays. The dog managed to dig a hole under the fence and hasn't been seen since.

Hazmat suits seem to be in fashion now too, as the only people I see are all wearing them. So, does poo in the roof work? Absolutely - it isn't just limited to snakes. I am wondering though, if poo from a larger animal may work even faster with a greater effective range. Anyone know where the circus is at the moment?
