Possums are small, furry animals that can cause a lot of damage in the garden. They are often quite harmless, but they can be a nuisance when they overwhelm an area. They’re known for producing droppings and urine which can spread disease in the garden and harm plants.
Possums have impressive jumping abilities and sharp teeth, as well as a long tongue to help them catch insects. It is also important to note that possums are very curious animals and they will be drawn to any new sights or smells in your yard.
If you've had a bad experience with them in the past, here's what you can do to get rid of them for good.
Bad smells and loud noises are the most likely things to scare a possum away. Different types of smells may work depending on the type of animal. For example, if you want to scare raccoons away from your property, then using predator urine will work really well. This is because raccoons are afraid of predators and that fear will help to keep them away from your food sources for good!
The quickest way to get rid of a possum is to use a cage trap that has a non-toxic lure. But make sure to place it correctly in the area you want it to be caught. You should also put up signage warning other animals about the trap so they don’t come into contact with it or eat the bait.
