Signs You Need Possum Removal

Possums can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Here are the common signs that indicate you might have a possum problem requiring professional attention.

Scratching Noises

Hearing scratching, scurrying or thumping noises in your roof or walls at night is a common sign of possum activity.

Strong Odours

Distinctive urine smells or droppings in the ceiling or roof cavity indicate possum habitation and require immediate attention.

Property Damage

Damaged roof tiles, chewed wiring, torn insulation, or disturbed roof spaces are clear indicators of possum activity.

Nesting Materials

Finding leaves, twigs, and other nesting materials in gutters, eaves, or roof spaces suggests possum nesting activity.

Unusual Sounds

Hissing, growling, or coughing sounds from walls or ceiling spaces, especially at night, indicate possum presence.

Visible Tracks

Paw prints or tracks along fences, walls, or in dusty areas of your roof space suggest possum movement patterns.

Garden Damage

Unexplained damage to garden plants, fruit trees, or vegetable patches could indicate possum feeding activity.

Possum Sightings

Frequent possum sightings around your property, especially at dusk or dawn, indicate they’ve established a territory nearby.

Emergency or after-hours services may incur additional fees compared to scheduled appointments.

Things to Consider Before Scheduling Possum Removal Service

1

Wildlife Regulations

Possums are protected in Victoria. Ensure your service provider follows legal requirements for humane trapping and relocation.

2

Comprehensive Solution

Look for services that include both removal and prevention to avoid recurring problems.

3

Timing Considerations

Be aware of breeding seasons when possums may have dependent young in their nests.

4

Property Access

Ensure technicians can access all areas of concern, including roof spaces and under-floor areas.

5

Follow-up Services

Ask about monitoring and follow-up visits to ensure the possum problem has been fully resolved.

How to Prevent Possum Infestations – Expert Tips & Solutions?

While professional removal is often necessary, these preventative measures can help reduce the likelihood of possum problems in your St Kilda property.

Trim Overhanging Branches

Keep tree branches at least 2-3 metres away from your roofline to remove easy access points for possums to enter your roof.

  • Focus on branches that provide a “bridge” to your roof
  • Consider professional tree trimming for tall trees

Seal Entry Points

Regularly inspect and seal gaps in your roof, eaves, and walls that could provide access for possums to enter your home.

  • Use durable materials like metal flashing or mesh
  • Pay special attention to damaged roof tiles and vents

Install Possum Boxes

Provide alternative habitats for possums by installing possum boxes in trees away from your home to encourage relocation.

  • Place boxes 4-6 metres above ground in stable trees
  • Position entrance holes away from prevailing winds

Manage Food Sources

Reduce attractants by securing garbage bins, removing fallen fruit, and avoiding feeding wildlife near your home.

  • Use wildlife-proof bins with secure lids
  • Clean up fruit from trees promptly when fallen

Install Motion Lighting

Motion-activated lights can deter possums from approaching your home, as they prefer dark, undisturbed areas.

  • Position lights near common entry points
  • Use energy-efficient LED options for sustainability

Regular Inspections

Schedule periodic checks of your property to identify and address potential possum entry points before they become problems.

  • Check roof spaces and gutters quarterly
  • Inspect after storms or high winds for new damage

While these preventative measures can help, established possum problems typically require professional intervention for effective and humane resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Find answers to common questions about possum removal in St Kilda and our professional services.

Possums are protected wildlife in Victoria. While it’s legal to remove them from your property, there are strict regulations governing how this must be done. Possums must be caught humanely and released within 50 metres of the capture site at dusk. Our technicians are fully licensed and comply with all wildlife protection laws to ensure legal and humane possum management.

For urgent possum situations, we offer same-day service throughout St Kilda and surrounding areas. Our emergency response team can typically arrive within 1-3 hours for critical situations such as possums inside living spaces. For standard emergency calls, we guarantee same-day service during business hours. We also offer after-hours emergency services for urgent situations that can’t wait until morning.

We implement a comprehensive approach to prevent possums from returning after removal. This includes:

  • Identifying and sealing all potential entry points with durable materials
  • Installing possum-proof barriers on downpipes and other access routes
  • Recommending tree trimming to remove “bridges” to your roof
  • Installing possum boxes in appropriate locations to provide alternative habitats
  • Applying safe, humane deterrents in strategic locations

We also offer follow-up inspections to ensure our prevention measures remain effective.

While possums themselves are generally not aggressive, they can pose several health risks when they take up residence in your home:

  • Their urine and droppings can contain bacteria and parasites
  • Accumulated waste can lead to respiratory issues and allergic reactions
  • Possums may carry external parasites like ticks and fleas
  • Damaged insulation can create dust that affects indoor air quality
  • Chewed electrical wiring poses fire hazards

Our removal and sanitisation services address these health concerns comprehensively.

Common signs of possum activity in your roof include:

  • Loud thumping or scratching noises, particularly at night
  • Distinctive growling, hissing, or coughing sounds
  • Strong, musty odours from urine and droppings
  • Visible damage to roof tiles, fascia boards, or vents
  • Stains on ceiling from urine seepage
  • Nesting materials visible in gutters or roof spaces
  • Possums entering or exiting your roof at dusk or dawn

If you notice any of these signs, we recommend a professional inspection to confirm possum activity and assess the extent of the problem.

If you find a baby possum (joey) on your property:

  1. Do not touch or handle the joey if possible
  2. Check if the mother is nearby – she may return to collect her young
  3. If the joey appears injured or abandoned, place it in a warm, dark box with a soft towel
  4. Contact us immediately or call a wildlife rescue service

Our technicians are trained in humane wildlife handling and can safely manage the situation. We work with local wildlife rehabilitators when necessary to ensure orphaned possums receive proper care.

Yes, we stand behind our work with service assurances. When we complete a full possum removal and proofing service, we provide a 6-month service assurance on our workmanship and materials. If possums re-enter through any areas we have treated, we’ll return to address the issue at no additional cost.

For comprehensive protection, we also offer extended service plans that include regular inspections and maintenance of possum-proofing measures. These plans provide ongoing peace of mind and early detection of potential new entry points.

While DIY possum deterrents exist, we strongly recommend professional possum removal for several important reasons:

  • Legal compliance – Victorian wildlife regulations require specific handling and relocation procedures
  • Safety concerns – accessing roof spaces and working at heights poses risks
  • Effectiveness – professionals can identify all entry points and implement comprehensive solutions
  • Humane treatment – proper equipment and techniques ensure possums are not harmed
  • Long-term results – professional proofing prevents recurring problems

Our technicians have the training, equipment, and experience to resolve possum problems safely, legally, and effectively.
