It really works!
Purchased the ultrasonic possum repeller online a bit skeptically after trying other physical methods to deter errant possum on my porch wigth no luck and found the electronc automatic ultrasound gadget worked a treat. No more possum and no more possum poo! Recommend it to anyone and cant hear a thing so no nuisance to me or neighbours and only the possum cares.
No fuss and really works

It actually works
I was skeptical at first, but the possum problem was so bad that I gave it a try and to my surprise it worked instantly. Within minutes of the device being switch on, the possums were scampering out of the trees within its range. Several days later they were fighting to re-establish their territory. My citrus trees are now showing signs of recovery and there hasn't been a possum within range for a month now. It has not affected my dog or cat and because it only operates at night, it doesn't scare off the birds. I highly recommend this to remove those unwanted possums from you yard.
It removed all possums within range and comes on automatically at night
I wish the range was greater than 14 metres

Excellent results since installing!
I bought this to try and save my veggies from marauding possums who have taken to stripping whole plants/trees overnight. Since installing it to cover the veg garden and fruit trees we havent lost any more produce and I've found no new Possum scat. They are still in the neighbourhood as you can hear them at night but they stay away from the area the Repeller covers! Im going to install another near th house to keep them from driving the dog nuts at night.
Great product, does exactly what it says it does.
Unobtrusive, silent, effective

Questions & Answers
Shauna G.asked
Hello, I was wondering if the possum repeller would annoy small children at all. I have an 18 month old and so want to ensure this would not affect her or any future newborn children. Thanks.

It will depend on the individual. The device emits a very high frequency sound and I find that I can hear it and it does irritate me after a while, however the rest of my family can't hear it. We only have the device come on at once it's dark (when the possums are out) so it isn't an issue.
I understand that most young children are able to hear it. Our grandchildren can and it doesn't drive them away....... unfortunately (smile). I now wear hearing aids and can hear it. Doesn't annoy me either. I guess if the children, or me for that matter stayed in the zone of the noise, it could be troublesome but you do have to take care on targetting the device for it to be effective. Further, you could hook it up to a timing device to only operate after twilight. I when littlies should be in bed and possums go looking for food. Good luck.

Hi Shauna
Both Mathew and Happierjack have shared their own experiences. The Possum Deterrent emits high frequency sound. The average person will hear something if they are close, but they don't hear the high frequency sound that repels possums. However some people who have good high frequency hearing can hear it and don't always like. Like Mathew says it depends on the individual. The younger you are the more likely you'll have good high frequency hearing. Happierjack explains his grand children can hear but aren't that bothered by it. In other cases children don't like it so best to keep it turned off to after they are asleep. The possum deterrent comes with a 90 day money back guarantee.

My problem is possums in my tiled roof.
If I place the possum deterrent outside, facing back at the roof. In constant mode. Do the ultrasonic waves pass through the tiles or do I need to install it into the roof.
Thanks.

The waves don't pass through the tiles, so by having it outside it would actually encourage the possums to move away from the device and probably back to a save haven (ie inside the roof). So to flush them out of the roof you'd need the device inside it

Hello Chris
Mathew is correct, to repel possums from inside a roof space, the device also needs to be inside the roof space. The question is where do you put the device ?. Most people will target where they think the possums are getting in OR where they hear them the most OR where they think the possums sleep during the day. One device has a max range of 10 metres when used inside a roof space. This means one device cant cover an entire roof space, but one device is often successful

Could this be used to deter a very annoying Tom cat?

Mate, I don''t think this product will deter anything. In my opinion a waste of money.
There is a product called Dter which I have found works well.
Come back to me if you can't find it.

Hi mj
the possum deterrent has an adjustable dial that allows you to change the frequencies. To repel possums we use low frequencies, but they don't work against cats. To repel cats, rats etc we use the higher frequencies.
