Question about a animal in the attic and termites

02/08/2005 08:16 PM Kenn159

Hi All
I have two seperate questions about bugs and pest.
1.Have a animal in the attic ,it sounds large ,probably a possum or a raccon.
I picked up a trap cage at the flee market in which the door closes when the animal steps on the plate were the food is.
There is very little space up there its a 12 -2 roof with a ton of fiberglass that impairs visability so its going to be a bit tricky getting it up there .
Can anyone with experiance catching these animal offer any advise on what type of food Dould atrack them?
2.I have black sand looking droppings coming from the underside of the roof sheathing in the attic ,Im guessing its termites but I dont see any wing droppings .
Does that mean its its subteranian?
Thanks , ken
