If you experienced any of this, you probably <em>really<\/em> want them out of your property. We know a trick or two that can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-possums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">get rid of possums in a natural way<\/a> by using homemade possum repellent with ingredients you might already have at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"natural_possum_deterrents\">Natural possum deterrents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural possum deterrents affect differently their senses, and the most effective ones repel because of their <strong>smell<\/strong>, <strong>taste<\/strong> or <strong>both<\/strong>. Sometimes, but less often, they work because of how they feel (food texture). You can use natural deterrents in the garden to stop the possums from eating your plants and fruits or in roof cavities or other closed parts of your home, where the possum might be hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--warning-blue\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-warning\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Possums are protected species in Australia by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildlife.vic.gov.au\/managing-wildlife\/possums\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wildlife Act 1975<\/a>!

So the stinkier, the better! Smells prove to be a more effective repellent than something that tastes bad. Why? Because to know it doesn\u2019t like the taste of something, the possum needs to bite it first. A half-eaten plant is better than no plant at all, but we can probably agree that\u2019s not the most desirable outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what smells you can use against possums:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mothballs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Camphor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animal-derived fertilisers*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fish smell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*For example, you can spray blood and bone meal around flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tastes that possums hate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Possums are most definitely not picky eaters. They would eat <em>anything<\/em> if they were hungry. They might not like it, but if they\u2019re starving, they\u2019ll eat it. Sometimes, you might successfully repel a possum using specific food, only to find out later it\u2019s no longer effective. Acquired taste we might say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possums hate the taste of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Molasses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot peppers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mustard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quassia chips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fish oil <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">None of your DIY remedies work on the possums in your garden?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">Time to call in a professional possum remover.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-type=\"172\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/pest-control.png\" alt=\"None of your DIY remedies work on the possums in your garden?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"homemade_possum_repellent_recipes\">Homemade possum-repellent recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After we\u2019ve learned what smells and tastes possums despise, here\u2019s how to use them to your advantage &#8211; make homemade possum repellents.

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and let it sit overnight. After that, strain it and pour it into a spray bottle. We recommend you use it in the garden by spraying it on foliage that possums eat. Re-apply it two times per week or after rain, Of course, you can try using it inside, but you risk repelling your family too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quassia chips repellent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boil <strong>1 litre of water<\/strong> and steep <strong>50 grams of quassia chips<\/strong> (South American tree bark) for an hour and after that strain it. You have the option to add <strong>1-2 teaspoons of potassium-based detergent<\/strong> to make the solution stickier. Now you have a concentrated repellent.

Their smell is unbearable to the possums, which makes the place no longer desirable. There\u2019s a bonus benefit &#8211; no moths either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even if the process seems straightforward, there are a few steps on how to ensure it\u2019s successful. Here is how to use mothballs against possums:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locate the hiding place of the possum.

Since they\u2019re nocturnal creatures, that would be at night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the mothballs in key places &#8211; near the entrances, corners, and suspected hiding spots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It would help if you seal the entrances while the critters are away. Double precaution is better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor the activity.
