I have a family of possums under my porch- need a non lethal way of getting them to leave?



Answers:
Get a light and put it under the porch all night, it will scare them away, they are nocturnal and it will throw off there inner clock, they will not want to be there anymore. You will have to get under there an clean up after they leave, because in the future the babies will want to go to there home nest if they still smell there mother scent.

Call your local humane society for live traps, they will come out, set them. And return later to see if any are captured.
Have you tried writing them a firm yet polite letter?
Ask them for rent?
AH, get a dog!
buy a dog.
Have you and your family play possum under the porch with them. who ever lasts the longest gets to stay.
Animal control can trap them and release them in a safe place. Give them a call.
send in the dogs
smoke
my grandparents had a family of skunks living under their shed when i was young. They put a portable radio in the shed and turned the volume up 24/7 until the animals got annoyed and left.

Hopefully you're not in too urban of an area and you could try the same thing. Just put the radio underneth the porch and see if that gets them to leave... should only take a few days.
Call animal control. They should be able to help you.
Scare the crap out of 'em. They will fall over and play dead and you can just pick them up and take them where ever you want them away from your place.
NON Lethal:
Buy a havaheart trap at the local sporting good store and take them outside of town about 30 miles near some woulds and let them go.

You can call Critter Control..

I prefer Lethal with Pests:
I have have spray paint the back of an another I did the non-lethal way and dumped him about 30 miles outside of town, with a week she was back.
My preferred method of possum control is a pellet gun or 22 pistol to the head. Possum can carry rabies, and the fact they exist within the proximately of human habitation makes them dangerous to pets.
