It can be really hard to find the possum that has been hanging around your garden and/or home.
This is because a possum's best defense is to stay hidden and wait for an opportunity to pounce. There are a few ways to figure out where it’s hiding. For instance you can look around for signs of droppings that it has left. If you find some, try and find the scratch marks around it. The marks will indicate that the possum has been moving through your yard on top of an object like a tree or post so it is easier for him to escape from his predator if he needs to run away quickly
