Success!!! Scared off the opposum!

[lissalischicks]

So I've been dealing with a handful of oppossums that roam around in my backyard at night. I have tried many Methods that don't seem to work. I haven't tried trapping yet but that will be my last resort. A couple days ago a purchased a pest repeller and installed it last night. My camera caught a video of it working and it gave me the giggles. This opossum is the smaller of the 3 that visit. I love how the opposum freaked out so much it crashed into a stack of wood but then came back just to be scared off again!

Wonders how the chickens react to that noise?
Can you hear it from inside your house?

My chickens don't seem phased by it. When it went off I watched I coop and they opened their eyes then went back to sleep. The first day, a few of them stared it down and gave the warning sound. But that was it. I also put it out late at night and take it down before they are out.
I can hear it when I have the sound on full blast but at 3am I sleep right through it. I haven't had it out for the past few days due to the winds and I figure the constant moving of the leaves would cause it to go off non stop.
