Possums are lovely creatures to look at from a distance. However, you don’t want them living in your loft.
Possums are actually very noisy creatures. You can hear them pounding around in the roof space as they travel backwards and forwards looking for food. When they fight among themselves, they make an awful squeal which will definitely keep you awake.
