Possum are attracted to anything eatable. Trash, garden produce that's left over??? Get rid of all of that and then try putting out mothballs, baby powder, Human hair if you can get it and dogs are pretty good at running them off. That's what I have , fenced in so, I know why I don't have any. Tin pie plates or tin foil that reflects light and moves whan the wind blows, wind chimes. anything to make them think there is life out there. Good Luck.

The first thing you need to know about possums is they're harmless and and don't attack people, even when cornered. The teeth are for eating carrion and other waste in the environment. Very best thing to do is just leave them alone. They are looking for something to eat or drink. Drought covered a large portion of the U.S. this year and they are probably seeking leftover vegetables or something else that smells good in your yard. They eat dog and cat food too. Put the pet foods away and that will also discourage them. Only a truly ignorant person would shoot or torment one. Just because they are ugly doesn't make them worthy of death.

I keep them out of the yard by keeping bullets in the gun. I shoot them and leave them lay for the dog. Funny, I haven't seen any in about a year. (dog is a year and a half old)

sounds like they are attracted to the garden. get rid of all bad vegetables and fruits.
they should disappear when you turn over the garden for winter.

you might try motion detector lights. I'm for a mean dog myself.
otherwise a live trap with a raw egg for bait works great. torture them before you shoot them. i hate the buggers. Look out for skunks, tho.
