A customer asked about an opossum living under their deck.

Here are some sites with basic information about these creatures, their habits and biology.

Opossum Removal - seems getting rid of them is not easy, so there are some of companies in the business of removing 'possums'.

For do-it-yourselfers - the best advice I could see was to make sure there wasn't any food for them nearby. Sometimes, though, the food they find is at your neighbour's, but the opossums are living under your deck.

Repellent - apparently the fox is the opossum's most feared predator. So here is a place that sells a product that has the scent of foxes.

I remember 25 years ago there was a Zoo Poo product from the zoo. Now if it had enough lion and tiger product - maybe that would work??

Otherwise no products that are labelled for opossum removal or control.

The MNR site recommends trapping.

Opossums are not our specialty but lions we can handle - dandelions that is.
