Addressing the presence of a possum within a residential garage involves safely and humanely encouraging the animal to vacate the premises. This typically requires understanding possum behavior and implementing strategies that make the environment less appealing to the creature without causing harm.
Successful removal minimizes potential property damage, prevents the spread of disease, and avoids stressful interactions between humans and wildlife. Historically, coexistence with wildlife has presented challenges, leading to the development of methods to manage their presence in human-occupied spaces.
