Queens wildlife

I couldn't believe it when my son called me to say he'd awoken at three in the morning to the sound of something scurrying around his room. He flipped on the light switch to discover an opossum hanging from the air conditioning vent on his bedroom ceiling!! The thing is, he doesn't exactly live in the wilderness...he lives in Queens. Granted, he lives pretty close to a National Recreation Area, but it isn't Yosemite Park! The pest control specialist was called in. It's been three days and they've caught one squirrel. And I thought I had a problem trying to tackle a few ants.
