Our question today is how do you keep possums away? We get this question from homeowners who may be expecting possums soon. Either because they’ve dealt with them in the past, or they’ve heard local reports of possum activity. These animals are notorious for wandering and hunting on human property.
They climb fences fairly well and have been spotted throughout Australia. In urban and suburban areas. While we can’t dictate where the possum will go, we can make our property less inviting for them. One way is to pick up food or garbage that may attract possums at night. Never leave any food or water outside, especially pet food.
Possums are nocturnal animals with a strong sense of smell, so they’ll search for their food when it’s dark outside. You may also want to consider storing your sealed trash cans inside of a storage shed or a garage. Possums aren’t known for targeting properly sealed trash cans, but if you also have raccoons, they can knock your trash can over for other animals to scavenge. Finally, if you have fruit-bearing trees or plants on your property, pick up any fallen fruit.
