Get Rid Of Possums:

The first step to keep possums off your property is to remove all sources of food, water, and shelter. To do this, remove all animal feed, birdseed, feeders squirrel, water bowls, bins, and any other type of food and water. Since possums are nocturnal, make sure to take only your garbage out of the curb in the morning. 

Since you do not want to remove the fruits and vegetables in your garden, install a fence around it instead. This counteracts various types of wildlife to come in and eat all cultures. Sprinkle clove oil or cinnamon around the perimeter of your garden for a repellent natural wildlife.

Regarding housing, opossums love their dens in hidden places, secure from predators. As for residential properties, common areas to be inspected are underneath bridges and porches.
