How To Trap Possums

Using a box trap, use a bait such as fruit or vegetables to lure the possum into the box. When the possum tries to take the bait, a spring mechanism will be released killing the possum quickly and humanely.

Using a leg hold trap built to catch possums, the animal will be caught in the trap where it can be killed in a humane way.
