diligentduck starts with ... I'm asking for advice on possum poo removal. I am reluctant to just bag it and throw it in the rubbish bin. What is the best way to clean it up and can I just throw it under the native shrubs and trees in the front yard? As I've just put in my first fruit trees I think this may be an ongoing problem. I'm thinking of protecting the Pinkabelle and letting them have the crab apples. The neighbours have a mandarin(?) tree near our back fence. It's been there for years but this is the first season we've had poo over the pool pump housing. It could be a rat but the other neighbours have a huge tree over hanging the area. Any advice would be appreciated. | About the Author diligentduck Sutherland Shire 21st November 2010 9:03am #UserID: 4004 Posts: 13 View All diligentduck's Edible Fruit Trees |

au0rey says... One question, does possum poo look like small dog poo by any chance? I have seen elongated hard dark droppings and I know those are possum poo. Recently however I kept getting this dog poo lookalike on top of my fence at the same position so far thrice! It looks like a swirl and is grey, sorry for being so vivid! I thought my neighbour's doing a prank but we are on fine terms. Thanks! | About the Author au0rey melbourne 24th August 2011 10:02pm #UserID: 1600 Posts: 165 View All au0rey's Edible Fruit Trees |

au0rey says... Serious? I showed my neighbour the 'swirl' on the fence and he said it could be possum's and its poo depends on its diet. I have always thought that possum's poo is hard and elongated as I have seen it at my old rental place where possums are very regular visitors so I was surprised when he said it was possum's. Do cats poo on fences? It's all wooden fence. I thought cats dig and poo and cover? Rat... havent seen one though. It's a mystery which animal have done that. Whatever it is, I hope it wont start feeding my crops. | About the Author au0rey melbourne 25th August 2011 9:02am #UserID: 1600 Posts: 165 View All au0rey's Edible Fruit Trees |

JudyH says... To keep possums off your plants & trees just fill a section of stocking leg, or half hose, with human hair ( ask your hairdresser for some floor sweepings ) or dog hair from the groomer. Tie the filled stocking to the base of the tree or in the area you don't want the possums to visit and they will avoid that area.
