It is called "Quassia chips", chipped bark from the Quassia tree, and available from "Green Harvest" Maleny, Qld. Webpage address is: www.greenharvest.com.au/pestcontrol/deterrent_bird_bat_possum_prod.html I'm part of a community garden site, and over the years have tried everything from chilli spray, to Napthalene flakes. I was working my way through the Possum Repellent Study (by Deakin University into 14 possum repellents), web address: www.dpi.vic.gov.au/dse/nrenpa.nsf/FID/-BA8F66E2207E9E1ACA256D9000082EC0?OpenDocument This one works a treat - nothing has chewed on any of the plants I've sprayed, and I've been delighted to find something easy that finally works.
