Some background information might be helpful.
In the Australian environment, tree hollows are often scarce, yet many animals,
including possums, depend on them to survive. Therefore, relocation of
possums almost always results in their death in one of the most cruelest of
ways.
Rather than trying to scare them, the enlightened approach is to learn
to live with them. After all, here you are looking up at the majesty of the
night sky and possibly in awe as to what might be out there, yet a few
feet away are some examples of life on our own planet and let's face it,
isn't life on Earth one of the most amazing things that we know about the
Universe?
Best Regards
Gary
