I barely point the light at anything other than the shelterbelts and ground/grass when spotlighting
If you are getting chewed fruit it's almost always rats

That's an interesting comment, and not my experience at all. Chewed avocados is almost always possums here. Feratox proves the point, about 2 weeks after the first fruit damage, which I suspect is the amount of time it takes for possums to get tired of gorging themselves on avocados and then look for something else to eat.

Just had a possum in the greenhouse 2 nights ago eating freshly grafted trees.
