Signs Opossums May Be Visiting Your Property
Opossums are most active at night, and there are a few common signs that they may be visiting your property, including:
- Trash containers being disturbed overnight.
- Pet food or birdseed is disappearing.
- Small digging areas near gardens or compost.
- Tracks or droppings around sheds, decks, or fences.
Placing an opossum repellent near these areas can reduce repeat visits and encourage opossums to move elsewhere in search of food.
Where to Use Opossum Repellent
Applying it where animals travel or search for food can encourage them to avoid those locations. Common placement areas include
- Yard borders and fence lines.
- Around trash or compost areas.
- Garden beds and vegetable patches.
- Beneath sheds, decks, or porches.
- Along the pathways that wildlife use to enter the yard.
Creating a scent boundary in these areas can help discourage opossums from lingering around your property.
