The first thing you need to do is get rid of the possum. There are several ways to do this. Above all, you need to make sure that you do not kill the animal unless it is necessary. They really are just little animals that will not hurt you, but will put on a show of strength if they are threatened, or else they will just play dead. Anyway, there are 2 ways of doing this. You can trap it(recommended) or you could chase it out.

All right, first of all, you need to get it out of your house and off of your property. There are violent ways to do this, but I would recommend trapping it. Buy a good sized trap, one that could fit a raccoon. Then, put it out where the possum will find it, but not too obvious. As for bait, you can use almost anything. Possums are very opportunistic feeders, so they will eat nearly any food they can find.

The next thing you can do is chase it out of your house. This is hard and you could hurt the animal, but you can try it if you want. Just get a broom or a shovel and chase it to a door way. That is about all I can say about it, you can try it at your own risk to get rid of possums fast.

All right, now that it is out of your house, you need to take measures to keep them away. These are called possum repellants. There are all kinds of these, and bought ones tend to work the best, but hey, you can try some of these.

First of all, you need to possum-proof your house or where ever they are coming in. You need to make sure that there is no route of entry to your house, and there is no food laying around your house, or any shelter that they can use. This can be brush or sticks or even garbage cans. Just make sure that there is no food or shelter for the animal.

Also, try spreading predator urine, such as fox urine, around your house or where ever they are coming in. Also, you can try ammonia and mothballs or pet fur. Also, make sure that the entrance to the hiding place is flooded with light. This will keep them away because possum are very nocturnal and are scared, in some ways, of light.
