Re: Serious Possum Problem
Moth balls did not work continuously. The possum/s returned. I ordered a solar power sensor light (Swivelling Solar Security Wall Light) from the Lighting Outlet website. This item has an IP 5,6 rating, which means it's very weatherproof. Hopefully a reactive light will intimidate the blighters.
I'd rather be a tree,
where it's cool & sunny,
than stuck in traffic,
going batshit,
it's the green life for me.

Re: Serious Possum Problem
He has been evicted, I have closed off his access point. The only issue I have had with damage is they like to get into the sweet potatoes. Some of the veg garden beds get some digging scrapes not sure if possums do this but overall not too concerned at the moment.

Good for you mate. No veggie crops in my little courtyard, they eat the Madame deSmet, among other plants.
