We just caught our 3rd possom in the live trap last night too. I had read that they will eat rats and keep down the rat population but I'm not sure if that's true! (Made me wonder if I was getting rid of one nasty to just make room for another!)
It's helpful to me to hear that having a light on is a good thing. I'm assuming you mean outside the coop? I've been thinking I want to get a motion light on the outside since mine is right near a woods and it's a little "creepy" for me to go out there at night as there have been some break-ins on the barn in the past. If the light would help keep coyotes and other night predators away...all the better!
