90-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Run it for a full season. If your garden isn't any quieter, email us and we'll refund you.

Most of these come with 30 days — barely enough time to know if it's working. Ninety days covers a full possum season, so you find out on your patch, not on a promise.

Free & Secure Shipping

Free shipping Australia-wide. Most orders arrive within ~5/12 business days, with tracking from the moment it's on the way. Every order is packed to handle the trip.

Arrived Damaged or Faulty?

In the rare case it turns up damaged or faulty, send us a photo within 48 hours and we'll ship a replacement — no questions, no hassle.

Here, moving them on is the only option you've got.

Overseas, people trap. Here you can't. Possums are protected native wildlife — you're not allowed to harm them, and relocating one isn't a decision that's yours to make. So you're left doing what you've been doing: patching the netting, sweeping the deck, and losing the crop anyway.

That's the whole reason this thing exists. It doesn't catch anything and it doesn't hurt anything. It just makes your yard the one they walk past. They keep their patch of bush. You keep your fig tree. Nobody has to be the bad guy — not the possum, not the neighbour's cat, and not you.

 
 

FAQs

Does this actually work, or is it another one of those? (I've read the reviews)

Fair question — and you should ask it. Half this category sits on three stars because people buy one, it dies in a month, and they leave a one-star review about it. So we'll be straight with you:this deters, it doesn't guarantee.It works on mammals that don't want to be near a sharp noise and a flashing light — possums, cats, rabbits, foxes, rats. Most people see the digging stop in the first week or two, and that's why you get ninety days to find out on your own patch instead of taking our word for it.

Will the battery die in a month like the cheap ones? (mine was soldered in and couldn't be replaced)

No — and this is the single biggest thing wrong with this category. PossumPatrol runs on rechargeable AAA batteries, and the charging cable is in the box. No soldered pack, no sealed-in cell, no "sorry, that's not serviceable." You recharge it instead of rebuying it — and the day the batteries finally wear out, it's a screwdriver and four standard AAAs from Bunnings, not a whole new unit.

The battery cover is held on by screws, on purpose: that's what keeps the rain out of a device that lives in your garden year-round. You won't be opening it often anyway — it charges with the cable, without taking anything apart.

Do I have to run a cable or charge it every week?

No.The solar panel on top keeps it topped up through the day, so most people never touch the cable after the first charge.You put it where the damage is happening, not where the powerpoint is. And if it's been sitting in shade or you've had a run of grey weeks, the charging cable is in the box — it plugs straight into the unit, so nothing gets opened and nothing gets lost in the grass.

Will it actually trigger on animals, or only when people walk past? (mine never went off for the cat)

Yes, it triggers on animals— and this is the complaint we hear most after the battery one. The motion sensor picks up body heat and movement low to the ground, which is where possums and cats travel.What matters more than the sensor is where you put it:mount it low — roughly knee height — and point it along the path they use, not down at the ground. There's a placement guide in the box, because getting this wrong is why most of these end up in a drawer.

Won't they just get used to it and come back?

They can— which is exactly why it has six modes.Change the setting every few weeks and it stays unfamiliar,instead of becoming background noise they learn to walk through. Most people who say "it stopped working after a month" left it on the same setting since the day they unboxed it. Two seconds on the dial and you're back to square one, in your favour.

Can I hear it? Will my neighbours complain? (I don't want another problem)

Your neighbours won't hear it. The sound sits above what adult ears pick up, and high frequencies fade fast with distance — a few metres away there's nothing to hear, and it doesn't carry over a fence the way ordinary noise does.

Up close is a different story. Standing right next to it, kids and some adults can catch the lower settings — that's just how young ears work. If someone in the house notices it, drop it a setting and aim it into the yard rather than at the back door. And it isn't running all night: it fires for a few seconds when something moves, then goes quiet again.

Does it hurt the possum? (they're protected here and I don't want to harm anything)

No.Nothing touches the animal — it hears a noise it doesn't like and goes somewhere else.That matters in Australia, because possums are protected native wildlife: you can't harm them, and moving them isn't something you're allowed to just do. Deterring them off your patch is the option you actually have. Same goes for the neighbour's cat — it goes home, and you never have to have that conversation.

Which animals does it actually work on?

Straight answer, including the part most brands leave out.

Works well on: possums · cats · rabbits · rats and mice · foxes · dogs · small and medium birds.
Mixed results on: larger, bolder birds — currawongs, magpies and cockatoos will often ignore it. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out in the garden.

If big birds are your main problem, this isn't the product for you and we'd rather you didn't buy it.

 
 

You planted it. Something else is eating it.

You know the walk. Out the back with the kettle still going, straight to the veggie patch to see what's left. The soil turned over again. The new shoots stripped off the fig. Two sunflowers down. Possum poo on the deck to clean up before anyone else is awake.

And it's not one bad night — it's every night, all season, on top of the season before that. You've done the cayenne pepper. The citrus peels. The netting that they got under anyway. The motion sprinkler from Bunnings that never actually goes off. You're not chasing a gadget. You're at the end of your tether.

The fruit stays on the tree this year.

Nothing happens loudly. You just walk out one morning and the soil is how you left it. Then it's a week. Then the peaches make it to ripe for the first time in three years, and the vines you'd written off are thriving.

PossumPatrol works the shift you don't. It sits out there from dusk, watching the path they use, and when something crosses it fires a burst of sound and light for a few seconds — enough for the animal to decide your yard isn't worth it and go and be somewhere else. No traps. No poison. Nothing to find in the morning.

You go back to the part you actually wanted: watching what you planted grow.
