Creatures That Can Crawl In Through Your Toilet and How to Stop Them
5. Possums
In 2008, a man was in his bathroom in Australia when he saw the water in the toilet gurgling. Moments later, a baby possum appeared and this is not the first time this has happened. On another occasion, a woman found a dead possum in her toilet. These unusual guests are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for a long time — that’s why they can crawl into your toilet.
Thankfully, only baby possums can fit through your pipes, but this doesn’t mean that they are any less dangerous. Possums, like mice, carry rabies, so if you ever see one in your toilet call pest control immediately. Whatever you do, don’t touch the animal since it can transfer its disease to you.
