Seal Gaps & Crevices
Whether you’re living in an urban or far from the city, make sure that your property is sealed. It means fixing the gutter, attic, broken doors, and windows any tiny area that allows these pesky creatures to enter inside the property.
Overgrown Gardens
Possums belong to the wildlife and love hanging around dark and overgrown gardens. So make sure that your garden is well-trimmed, clean, and free of heaps of organic compost, rotting veggies, and fruits. These invite possums to your garden and more likely to your house.
Remove Possum Attractants
Messy, overflowing trash bins are one of the attractive features for possums to enter your property. If you have left pet food outside overnight, they will take it as an invite and come to your property. If you’re growing fruit-bearing plants or vegetables in your garden, make sure your veggie garden is sealed properly. You can use motion detectors or alarms or glare lights to scare them off.
