Description

Now introducing the JCS Wildlife Recycled Poly Lumber Awesome Possum House!

This house is for the possum or opossum, whichever way you want to spell it, that you want to protect! Possums do not build their own shelters, they search for them. They will retreat to dens and nest that have been abandoned by other animals, or the possums will take cover in sheds, old buildings, cavities in rocks, brush piles or hollow trees. That's where the Awesome Possum House comes in handy! The box features a 5" in diameter entrance hole that is protected by an awning so the house will not have a lot of light shining in as possums try to hide away from the bright sun. The box is constructed using recycled poly lumber material that will not crack, split or fade due to being exposed to the elements. Includes three 3-inch mounting screws.

* We recommend mounting this box anywhere from 10-15 feet high in a large, old tree away from any predators. *

Dimensions: 19" H x 12.5" D x 18" W

Possum Fun Facts:

1. Possums are not aggressive. They can "play possum" for hours to avoid potential brawls with other animals and humans.

2. Rabies are a rarity among these marsupials. Their natural body temperature is often too low to host the virus.

3. Possums kill thousands of ticks. One possum can eliminate up to 4,000 ticks in one week thanks to their extreme self-grooming techniques.

4. Waste management is their specialty. Possums will eat just about anything and are nature's best clean-up crew.

5. Possums are the only marsupials indigenous to North America.

6. They get rid of garden pests like slugs, beetles and cockroaches.

7. Possums are quite smart and have tested with a higher intelligence than most domestic animals like rabbits, cats and dogs.

I was disappointed there wasn’t a way to open it to clean it.

Hi Dondi,
To clean inside the JCS Wildlife Recycled Poly Lumber Awesome Possum House, all you need to do is remove the screw from the bottom of the front panel just below our name plate. Then you would just lift the panel and clean out the box. When done, close the panel and put the screw back in to secure the door.
Thank you!

Awesome Possum House Doesn't Meet Expectations

The outside of the house has "bars"to allow possums to enter but none inside to exit. There needs to be ledges or bars for easy access to exit. Very disappointed with your company.

I purchased this and I love it! However it has recently come to my attention that squirrels have moved in and taken over, any recommendations on what to do now?! We had it in the back of our property up on the side of a tree for the possums in are area, and after seeing them near our home recently I went to check the house and nothing but squirrels ran out, hoping I can evict them and get the possums back?

JCS Wildlife

And I have seen it the other way around - where the possom took over the squirrel house!

JCS Wildlife

I'm so sorry about the delay in responding - I had to do some research. I think the only thing you can do is make sure no squirrels are in the house and then either remove it or seal it up for a little bit. Then unseal it and see if you can get the possom to make it their home.
Good luck!

Can I mount it 10 feet up a Palm Tree? Unfortunately, I don’t have any other mature trees in my yard.

JCS Wildlife

Yes, I've had several customers do this. It will work great for the house.

How do you encourage a possum to move in the possum house? I have a possum that took over a hollow tree where eastern screech owls would nest each spring and the owls are camping out on my balcony while the possum has taken over the hole. Any ideas? Thank you! Georgia

JCS Wildlife

You can help to encourage a possum into the possum house by offering food near the house. This will entice the possum to go near and explore the new addition to the yard. Possums do not create their own shelter so they will seek out shelter for themselves. Adding a handful of dead leaves for nesting material will also help to encourage the possums to move into the house.

Can the possum house be placed on the ground, or does it need to be mounted off the ground? If mounted off the ground, how high?

JCS Wildlife

Possums will not create their own shelter; they search for an existing spot. We recommend seeking out a large, old tree with some coverage to protect the house during extreme weather. The house should be mounted 10’ to 15’ high in the tree and face away from prevailing winds. Mount the box approximately 2” above a tree limb.
