Every night, we go to bed, put Skol in the garage, and while we are sleeping, he puts on his war paint, and starts a battle with the local possum that uses our fence to get to a particular tree that is flowering at the moment.
He'll psych himself up, and then at same time everynight when the possum comes along, he launches himself out of the garage, charges through the dog door and down our courtyard to bark his head off at the thing...
It meanwhile taunts him from up high on the fence.. *nananaNANA* you can't catch me...
But he persists.. and barks and barks and barks, and actually manages to annoy it to the point where it returns growls and hisses and these horrible noises...
Then, he'll fall back to the garage, recompose himself, and then charge out again... to more growls and hisses...

If anyone has a suggestion as to how to deter possums from our fence, please let me know!
Rather sleep deprived lately... *yawn*

You could get the possum removed by a wild life carer, who will re-locate it.
Oh I looked into that, they are only allowed to relocate it 50m from where they caught it or something ridiculous.. its not far enough.. but actually, i think we may have won.. skol didn't bark last night.. hurrah!
hmmm, tough city possum hey!
i don't know what would deter it.....google; spraying diluted thai fish sauce...it's quite a problem in brisbane!
Mars said we use bears over here to get rid of em. ;)
