Possum-proofing my fruit??

[AnyDream]

Anyone, the possies will be out there eating them soon...!?

I have problems with possums at my unit block. I had a pot with mint, which I covered with chicken wire - a rectangular pot, and they ate the mint which was sticking out and tried to get into it.

Also they are continually pooing and peeing on my balcony.

It might be too late to do it tonight, but put some metal rings around the trunks of the trees to stop them climbing up them. But do you have an outside light you can leave turned on? they don't like the light at all so that might help. Or some citronella sprinkled around the trees too.

Trill, I don't think the metal rings would work, they walk along the top of the back fence and the apple tree is right next to it. In fact the tricky little buggers have an entire highway of getting around well above ground, I let BFC out to bark at them but they sit there looking at him LOL. Too well fed. The light might work.

Bugger! Fingers crossed the light works then.
