Possum Removal & Control in Melbourne

Possums are a common issue across Melbourne, particularly in roof cavities and ceiling spaces.

While they are a protected species in Australia, they can cause significant disruption when they take shelter inside homes.

Because of legal restrictions, possum control requires a careful, compliant approach — not DIY removal.

Signs You Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are nocturnal, so activity is usually heard at night.

Common indicators:

  • Heavy movement in the ceiling after dark

  • Loud scratching or thumping at night

  • Visible roof gaps or broken vents

  • Droppings or strong smells in roof spaces

Our Approach

We focus on humane removal and long-term prevention, not temporary fixes.

Our possum control focuses on:

  • Identifying entry points & access routes

  • Using approved trapping and relocation methods

  • Providing prevention advice and sealing recommendations

Long-Term Prevention

Possums often return if access points remain open.
We provide guidance to reduce re-entry risk.
