Get yourself a few packets of mothballs and throw them about in your roof cavity.
This was an old wives tale i stumbled upon about 12yrs ago, and have been doing it every year since then. (onec a year top-up is all thats needed)
It will keep away ALL rodents. The first few days, you *might* be able to smell the moth balls slightly, but it goes away after a few days.
I havent had possums/rats/mice/birds inside my roof cavity since using this trick.

Yes I've heard this can be really effective as they loathe the smell, and it's an easy fix. I've also heard that if they are trapped and relocated they will die, out of their normal habitat, I only read that recently as up until now it seemed a good idea. Our council has the absurd laws that you can trap them but let them loose within something like two metres away. f g s.
I watched two of them last night in the trees out front, they move so fast. Meanwhile so far the tiny flashing lights I have in my
back garden seems to be deterring them, fingers crossed.
Good luck.
