Can you get underneath the house? If you're sure it's an opossum, it's nocturnal, so go down there and block its access to the ductwork/vent during the day.

I would not recommend this because if its under your house they can be a handful if you run up on them. They also could have rabbis.

go to lowes and buy opposum poison....duh!

If you ever had anything die under your house you would know thats a bad idea.

My quick,cheap, easy solution is to place Moth balls under your house. They redirect most animals away for the place you put them. Just dont put them in your duct work or in your house. Thats very important and dont say I didnt warn you if you decide too.

I rent a crappy little house in Rowan Co with a brick foundation, crawl space and access. Where the HVAC duct work runs in there's more access for small creatures.

Once, I heard something in a floor vent only to see an Opossum's nose, it was inside the duct work and nearly in the house.

Now, I hear a scratching noise at night like something is trying to get inside the plastic that holds the insulation to the floor and we're hearing something in the duct work again.

Common sense says whatever it is, is seeking warmth so turning the AC on at night seems to deter it's attempts, but tomorrow's low is 25 and that's just not feasible.

I have called the property manager but haven't heard anything back yet and I have a baby in the house.

Does anyone know of anything I can use temporarily to deter what I imagine is a possum, cat or raccoon?

Billy the Exterminator is too far away for me to call.

Go down to Tractor Supply... they might be able to help ya out. Southern States further out on Jake near the RR might be of some help too

I've never lived in a trailer...so no!!!!

only thing under my house is concrete, followed by miles and miles of dirt/rock and chinese people

Well surly one of those Chinese people tunneled under you house and died there. If not you should go check it out. You could have a infestation. :D
