I used to have a possum get into my trash cans at night.
It became quite annoying. Trash strewn all over the
backyard. The thing would hiss at me menacingly when I
tried to shoo it away - and would refuse to leave.

I soon got tired of playing games with it, and shot
the thing dead with a Ruger 10/22 rifle. It has
ceased to cause me any further annoyance.

My possums have never hissed or gone through trash...they just walk on through...politely leave when I shoo them...i thought I found a dead one in a receptacle...but he aroused after I shook the container and skedaddled out of there..
