Good Afternoon @Avishai 

Welcome to The Bunnings Community page Mmmmm stopping possums may be a little hard. Do you have a photo of your yard so we could come up with some suggestions? I dont know of any sprays or fake owls type deal.

Hello @Avishai 

Allow me to welcome you as well to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about stopping possums from entering your backyard.

There are a few items you can try to deter possums from entering your backyard. I suggest looking at Yates 1L Ready To Use Possum Repellent Spray and using it on the top of your fence so that they will not use it as a bridge. Next, is the Sureguard Scarecrow Motion Activated Ultrasonic Animal Repellent. This uses sound and light to confuse and frighten animals away. 

My favourite of the lot is the Sureguard Scarecrow Motion Activated Water Spray Animal Repellent. This uses a spray of water to deter any animals from entering your backyard. It has a motion sensor attached to it and can operate at night. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know,

Eric
