Possums....Thiram
Ivor,
every few months I post this as someone new asks for possum help..... maybe we need a FAQ! I have successfully protected young trees by spraying with Thiram fungicide after seeing a Qld DPI leaflet on protection of young trees on farms from hares, wallabies, possums, etc. Not easy to get, usually need to go to a agricultural or horticultural supply company as nurseries didn't seem to stock it. After a few nibbles the possums went elsewhere for something more palatable. Strange, it didn't seem to have a strong odour or anything, they just didn't like it. It is a fungicide for fruit trees so it seems to be fairly safe. Good luck, Jim "EPSTEIN" wrote in message u... Any ideas how to deter possums from devastating our garden? Currently they are eating all new shoots on a whole variety of plants, but seem to love Photinias and Lillypillis. Have tried so many different products, the most successful one being "POSSOFF", albeit limited success. Kind regards, Ivor |
