Default 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

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
