Natural Possum Repellent
Possums will eat everything, including poisonous plants.
Possums are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. They will eat fruit, nectar and plants as well as mice, rats, eggs, insects and other small animals. Possums also like to dine on rotting meat too—though it is unclear if this is from eating their own dead or from eating something else that died (like roadkill).
Possums will eat anything that comes their way!

Possums are surprisingly fast, reaching speeds up to 15 miles per hour, and their rear legs can climb up to 5 feet. They are also very good jumpers and can hang from their tails for short periods of time.
Possums can be stubborn, and if one decides to stay in a yard or area, there is little you can do to remove it.
Possums are territorial animals and will return to the same area if they feel as though they have been trespassed upon. They generally keep to themselves and will only be seen at night, but it is possible for them to come out during the day in search of food or water (although this is rare).
If you spot a possum in your yard, don’t try to get rid of it yourself. Possums can be stubborn, and if one decides to stay in a yard or area, there is little you can do to remove it–and more importantly, there are very few methods that are humane.
Possums can live several years with diseases (such as distemper) that often kill other wild animals as well as domestic pets.
Possums are unique in that they are immune to most toxins, including snake venom. They also can live with diseases that would kill other animals, such as distemper, which usually wipes out domestic cats or dogs within a few days. This makes it hard for a possum population to be controlled through any type of chemical or biological means.
They are tough survivors; possums can survive being hit by cars and even losing an eye! Possums will eat anything from tin cans to bird eggs and pet food left outside.
Possums are difficult to remove from a yard once they have established themselves in the area.
Possums are difficult to remove from a yard once they have established themselves in the area. They will eat almost anything, including plants, fruit and vegetables, and can destroy a garden quickly if left unchecked. Possums are also very fast animals that can damage wiring inside homes if they get inside. They often carry diseases that spread to other animals such as dogs or cats; this makes them dangerous for pets that come into contact with them.
