Possum Invasion- A Major Hurdle in Aussie Cleaning
Possums cause a nuisance in Aussie homes, making cleaning cumbersome. They are not only smelly but also nest on your roof and help themselves to the produce in your garden.
The best way to combat the possum problem is by preventing possums from nesting at your home. Some practical steps in this direction are
Find Points of Egress Any holes present in the foundation, deck lattice, screens, etc., should be covered.
In order to avoid the entry of possums, it is beneficial to block vents with a metallic mesh. Chimneys serve as another opening for possums to enter. It is a good idea to cover chimneys with a chimney cap or metal mesh.
Remove Food Sources Open compost piles are another source of attraction for possums. Hence, compost should be secured and covered in compost containers.
Pets should be fed away from openings such as pet doors, etc. You should ensure that there is no residue on barbecue grills.
Follow Good House Cleaning Practices Dirty dishes should be cleaned immediately after use. You should try to have your meals in the kitchen or dining room only. Spills and crumbs should be cleaned immediately.
