Turns out that is mostly BS.Unless they become a problem for your chickens or something, leave the opossums alone. They eat a lot of ticks daily. One single opossum can kill and eat some 5,000 ticks in a single season. They are rabies resistant, and dogs love to bark at them. Personally if I had chickens, etc I would fence to keep the possums out and learn to live with them around. We even protect the possums that wonder into our yard now.
