You can't trap one, you can't relocate one, and without a licence you can't legally do much at all except make your garden a less appealing place to be. That's what this does. A motion sensor catches movement up to 9 metres out, and the unit answers with a burst of high-frequency sound and a red and white flash — enough to interrupt an animal mid-raid and send it somewhere easier. Solar powered, no wiring, push it into the garden bed and leave it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/8462\/7535\/files\/solar-animal-repeller-vegetable-garden-ground-level.png?v=1769522271\" alt=\"Solar Animal Repeller - vegetable garden ground level\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLegal where trapping isn't\u003c\/strong\u003e — possums are protected under state wildlife law and catching or relocating them without a licence is an offence.
