This is getting ridiculous. About six weeks ago I was drying my hair getting ready for school when I noticed a pair of beady eyes staring at me. At first I thought it was a rat, but upon closer study I found that it was a baby opossum. To make a very long story shorter, we have now caught with our bare hands five opossums (all babies, but getting bigger each time). The apartment maintenance people came out and found a hole in the attic and patched it. They believe a mother came in and had her babies and they swore 6 weeks ago that we should see the last of the babies within 2 weeks. I'm up now because we just caught another one. I had just fallen asleep when my husband woke me up to tell me that he saw another rodent running around.

Frankly, I think it is ridiculous to pay as much rent as I'm paying to live with disease infected rodents and have to catch them at all hours of the night (since this is when they choose to come out). My husband thinks we should ask to be moved to another apartment in the complex because the management swears up and down that we are the only ones with this problem (in fact, they didn't believe us at first until I cornered one and had maintenance come see with their own eyes). I really don't want to pack up everything and move to another building in the complex. I also don't want to have to go looking for another place to live. This was by far the best deal for the square footage I was able to find, and other than rodents, they are pretty nice apartments. Any suggestions on what we should do? Do any of you know how to get rid of these nasty creatures? Please help me!!
