There are three simple ways to address Possum problems around homes and gardens:

• Possum exclusion is the best way to keep these little intruders out of roof spaces. Possum spikes, chicken wire and other products are frequently used.
• If exclusion is not possible or too expensive use Possum deterrents such as high-frequency acoustic devices or automatic water sprinklers also known as ScareCrow sprinklers to teach these animals to stay away.
• Possum trapping and relocation is a further option. Humane live-capture possum traps are available on the market. These traps won’t harm the animal. Make sure to follow local regulation and animal well-fare guidelines. Check traps regularly and wear protective clothing when handling live animals.
