<human>:  How do I get rid of a possum in my yard?
<bot>: The best way to get rid of a possum in your yard is to first determine if it is a female possum with a pouch full of young. If it is, you should contact a wildlife rescue organization to remove the possum and its young safely and humanely. If it is a male possum, you can try using deterrents such as bright lights and loud noises to scare it away. You can also try setting up possum-proof fencing around your yard.
