Possums are tick magnets and eat over 5000 ticks / season.
Ticks jump on the slow-moving possum. Possums are fastidious groomers, and eat the ticks off their bodies. Scientist studied possums( possum scat), and calculated one possum eats over 5000 ticks per season.
Support having more possums in the wild to control tick populations.
https://www.caryinstitute.org/news-insights/media-coverage/opossums-killers-ticks That's the natural tick removal system. I've seen grown men squirm like little girls going fishing for the first time. You'd think these men were baiting a hook when they say the word possum. "Uuuuuuuwwww! A big rat!!" As they shiver with disgust. Then brag about killing the dragon- like beast . The same with little snakes.
IMHO Possums are awesome. They remove mice, ticks, venomous snakes and skunk eradication.
