Do any #australian readers have some advice on getting a #possum out of our garage?
Heve tried using spiky things and sealing every possible entrance I can think of. I have tried using eucalyptus oil and camphor to repel them, but no luck. And they are urinating all over my car every night.
Nasty.
Please boost if you have Aussie followers. Cheers.
Have you even seen a tail like this? The aptly named Feathertail Glider is a species of possum native to eastern and southeastern Australia. Weighing under 10 grams, this nocturnal glider navigates the skies with agility, gliding gracefully between trees in search of nectar, pollen, and insects. It is capable of gliding distances of up to 80 feet and plays a big role in their ecosystem as a pollinator and seed disperser. Remarkably social, it often forms close-knit family groups, fostering strong bonds within their arboreal habitats.
We have a decent sized yard (0.8 acres) and we fenced it in because we have 2 large dogs you may have seen in other photos of mine (Roux and Snow, 70lbs and 90lbs respectively) as well as 2 indoor-outdoor cats who kill all the rodents in the area.
Unfortunately, a possum in the area seems to have a death wish. It keeps coming into our yard and getting the piss scared out of it by our dogs. We call them off because we don't want them getting sick killing it (one is a Great Pyrenees and the other is a hunting dog. Neither is likely to get hurt, just diseased from biting it.)
But it keeps coming back and coming deeper into the yard and further from the fence. And it is doing so earlier and earlier in the day. And each time, it gets scared to death and runs off after we get the dogs away.
But it keeps coming back and one of these days, we won't be home and our guys will kill it.
