    Staff are antsy enough already.

    One of my staff was on the loo (standard small room, not cubicle) last month, knickers around her ankles and a rat ran out from behind the toilet bowl. She is now trapped in a confined space with a rodent.
    Apparently the cries of shock, fear, and embarrassment where something that may never be heard again.

    I can't look her in the eye anymore, nor can I stop laughing.

    As for Possums - WTF am I supposed to do with the carcasses? The first one went in the bin, the neighbour throws them in the bush. Is that alright? I just imagine more flies and rats?

    If I can get my digger fixed I'll bury them but it is a bit labour intensive. I know my rep around here, but I seriously don't know how to get rid of bodies?

    Wait....you were looking her in the eye at the time?

    Are you plucking the fur off them? if not put the word out, some local might want it and they can take away the bodies as part of the deal .

    Don’t you have to pluck the fur when they are warm?

    @jegga I am now the auto method didn’t work. One of the neighbours might want to make something of them.

    You really only need to bury them about 18 inches deep to avoid any nasty smells etc. If the ground is rock hard tip a few buckets of water where you want the hole.
