Possums in Bridgeman Downs do not only cause trouble in the roof. They strip fruit trees, chew new growth in garden beds, knock over pot plants and leave droppings on decks and outdoor furniture. Brushtails in particular love roses, citrus and new leaves on young trees. Garden possum deterrents make your yard less inviting so possums spend less time near the house. We give you an upfront price and book a local crew to set them up.
The crew we book walks through the yard with you and looks at where the possums are feeding, climbing and resting. They also check whether any trees or fences give an easy route onto the roof. Then they suggest a mix of deterrents that suits your garden. The aim is simply to make the area less attractive. Options may include:
- Motion-sensor lights near decks and fruit trees
- Motion-sensor sprinklers for garden beds
- Netting over fruit trees and vegetable patches
- Scent-based deterrent sprays on plants they target
- Clearing easy climbing routes near the house
Deterrents tend to work well alongside tree guards and possum proofing. If the roof is sealed and the garden is less appealing, possums tend to spend less time around your house. Scent sprays need to be reapplied every so often, especially after rain, and the crew will show you how to do this yourself. Motion lights and sprinklers need a power point or a tap nearby, which the crew will check on the day.
