I have a problem with possums in my area. What can I do?

This might seem like a stupid question, but what's an 'apron'? It'd be strange if it were the same type of apron used in the kitchen! >w<;; I'm pretty sure it's not, though...silly me.

Oh, and I go into my chicken house all the time, just to visit, I suppose. It's pretty bare at the moment, nowhere for a sneaky possum to hide and set up camp. It would be so awful to lock them in with my chickens! 0.o Just the thought makes me cringe.

Yes, I have a covered run at the moment; it was just big enough for the small flock I had, but I intend to expand it for the new 15-bird flock I plan on obtaining in the spring.

To be honest, I didn't have serious possum problems until I actually built a covered run, because I feared for their safety. For a long time I had an open run and everything was fine. (Guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it. <.<)I'm not sure if the covered run was the problem, or just that a clever possum moved into town or what. I know, a lot of people swear by covered runs, I just keep hearing conflicting advice on the subject of, to cover the run or not to cover the run. I'm still not sure what my new building plans will be on the matter. Further research is needed.

Oh, and thanks so much for the useful tips, guys! Hopefully I'll not have to worry as much about possums proverbially knocking on my chicken house door.

Here's my new coop with the apron.
