(Here's Why and Prevention Tips!)
While ducks do not make up the usual diet of a possum, they will go after their eggs and have been known to kill a duck and pick at their insides.
. . .
So while the usual predators of a duck are a far greater concern, for the safety of your next litter of waterfowls you should still maintain a healthy dose of home defense to keep your ducks safe.
. . .
Possums by nature are omnivorous and entirely satisfied with going into your trash, going after smaller animals, eating vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, whatever they can get their possum paws around.
. . .
While the overall focus of this article and these tips are directly related to possums, these preventative measures can also repel other unwanted pests like foxes, coyotes, falcons, owls, snakes, and even raccoons.
. . .
To avoid the headache of a possum, raccoon, or skunk family taking shelter near your neck of the neighborhood, be sure to keep the outside of your house as pristine as you can manage.
