Here is a feel good story. Say hi to your friendly neighborhood opossum.

There's ticks in my yard?😷😵📴

[kaehurowing]

Can we let a few hundred roam in D.C. to deal with the bloodsuckers there?

[RoosterRedux]

I've got possums who come up at night to eat the leftover cat food on my patio (along with a family of raccoons and a couple of gray fox pups). I've never seen them (the possums) nibbling their way around my yard but perhaps they do their work at night when I'm asleep.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a tick in years.

[GreyFriar]

I guess it is a possumability.

Chickens too

May be, but they dig up chunks of lawn to look for worms.
After opossum attack, my yard looked like a tractor had ploughed through. I bought a trap and caught the suckers!

[BlackAdderess]

Yup, they are good if weird little animals to have in the back yard :)

[Dr. Sivana]

It’s true. I knew a well-educated creature of this sort, though we could only converse in Latin.

I asked him which creature is most efficient at killing ticks?

He stated, quite confidently, “Possum.”

[Ben Hecks]

They have their own lake down in Texas.....Possum Kingdom Lake is just NW of Ft. Worth.

Once saw a baby opossum in a field, probably an orphan. The little punk was not even five inches long and he was baring his teeth and hissing at me. One swift stomp and I could have killed the little bastard but I didn't.

[Veggie Todd]

They’re great critters to have around if you have a garden.

[yarddog]

There are no ticks in my yard and I do get the occasional Possum. Maybe I should thank them.

When I was growing up, it was said that dragonflies would eat mosquitoes. So we used to catch them with butterfly nets and put them in our bedrooms.

[RummyChick]

Anyone know what eats dead japanese beetles.

Last year some varmint would come and scarf them down. It was something that could jump.

[lodi90]

I wish they ate Armadillos. I hate those beasts. Always causing damage.

So, there was a stray female cat in heat that was wandering around my house. I have a female cat and a male who has been fixed, so nobody that could give her what she wanted. One night, I looked out on my porch and there were: 1) the female cat, 2) bachelor #1, 3) bachelor #2, 4) bachelor #3, 5) my male cat who was happy about this intrusion, and .... 6) a weird looking cat that once he started moving, I realized was an opossum. I guess he was there for the uh gang bang. Last sentence is a reference to the movie Old School. I still don’t know what he was doing there. They are definitely nocturnal. They come out a little earlier than the raccoons in my yard.

[bkopto]

I wish possums and raccoons ate each other.

[Bonemaker]

We need to find something that eats democrats.

[jetson]

Let’s grow a giant one and let it eat rioters.

[MisterArtery]

they also hiss at you wife and scare the crap out of her.
