The filler boards that face the ground between the roof and the house.
The roof extends past the house walls, and the soffit decoratively fills in the the area from the edge of the roof to the wall of the house. The space above the soffit is a VERY attractive nesting place for a lot of small critters.

Do you think mothballs would work for possums in Oz? They destroy our wisteria and we've had no flowers or shade for the last two years I's illegal to kill or trap and remove them as they are supposedly endangered.

For $3 worth of mothballs, wouldn't it be worth a try? I doubt Australian possums have different likes and dislikes from American possums. The mothball trick turned a regularly returning family of skunks from nesting under my house, and kept my attic free from squirrels for many years while my neighbors all had problems with them. (The neighbors didn't believe that the mothballs could work...)
