I have one truck thats outside in Minnesota winters. My wife gave me some kind of mesh and I put 4 or5 mothballs and close it with twist ties. I put a few inside the truck and a couple under the hood. Seems to work ok.

x2 been workin for me for years. I’m 800’ off the rd. In the woods, tried everything from electronics to Irish spring soap chips. Think moth balls helped but preferred the critters to the smell. Antifreeze worked but they’d die in the walls & stink the joint out! They love the Tomcat bait, then go look for water. If u make sure there’s no easy water source in the garage or house there gone. When u see they leave the bait alone that means they are no more.

I had 12 bait blocks eaten! Put up a trail cam and saw an opossum. It ate those blocks and came back for more. Trapped and removed it. Newc

You might have some big holes in your garage if opossums are getting in! The folks are getting ready to do bear hunting, the new trail cams that send a photo to your phone are cool.

They’re industrious little Vermin & seem to find a way! Where ur building is located effects. On a farm or on a few to many acres in the woods it’s a battle!
