How to Get Rid of Possums in the Yard – This 2-foot, furry creature tannish hitting on your garbage cans that neither raccoon nor pet home is most susceptible to a possum, the only native marsupial in the United States and Canada. Also called opossums, these scavengers often visit areas of residence in search of food, which includes nuts, eggs, and fruits as well as small animals, birds, and insects. Keep them away from your garden and your pet’s food with still efficient methods, and mostly inexpensive, simple.

Things you need to

• Pruning curtains
• Lawn mower
• Debris garbage from the yard
• Motion-activated watering system (optional)
• Possum Traps (optional)

Instructions

• Make sure your garden is well maintained and therefore less attractive for possums. Keep all bins in your garage, shed or another fenced area that opossums cannot break. Make sure the lids are always on the boxes and properly equipped. Pick up the fallen fruit from the fruit trees that you might have on your property regularly, and keep the shrubs and pruned trees and long mowed herbs. Opossums like to make nests in the crevices of trees, under piles of housing and brush in addition to being attracted to food sources.
• Block all entrances to the house, including porches, terraces, holes or open spaces under the house, fences and dog doors.
• Install a motion-activated sprinkler system to leave during the movement to treat with more than one opossum or one that persists despite all your efforts.
• Set up possum traps in the areas they seem to be frequent. Look for feces and tracks to identify areas of opossum with high traffic. Call your local animal control to get rid of possums.
• Bring all the pet food dishes inside for the evening each night.

Advice and warnings

Sprinkler systems can also go when other animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, dogs, and cats, run in the affected area, which frightens animals and water waste.
