The markets are filled with a number of deterrents and repellents that were made especially for opossums. While they make big claims of swaying them out, we simply do not recommend using these chemicals in your home.

Simply put, these chemicals usually have a very foul smell. Most repellents are created from a special blend of urine from predators.

Urine on its own is quite pungent and when used indoors will have the entire house stinking for days. If you’re planning to use these in an outdoor setting, there’s no problem at all. However, these scents will creep through your vents and fill your entire home before you know it.
