Our 4-Step Humane Possum Removal Process
We follow a strict, proven process that prioritises the well-being of the possum and the safety of your home.
Thorough Inspection
Our licensed wranglers conduct a detailed inspection of your roof cavity and property to identify all entry and exit points, assess the number of possums, and locate any dependent young (joeys).
Installation of One-Way Exclusion Doors
Instead of stressful trapping, we use a smarter method. We strategically install specially designed one-way doors over the possum’s main entry point. This humane device allows the possum to exit freely to forage for food at night but prevents it from getting back in. This ensures the entire family unit can leave safely together — usually on the first night.
Freedom in Home Territory
Once out, the possums remain in their familiar territory and are free to find a new, natural place to sleep, such as a tree hollow. This method is far less stressful and dangerous than physical trapping and relocation, allowing them to continue their normal life as vital members of our local ecosystem.
Permanent Possum-Proofing
After we have confirmed the possum has vacated the premises, we return in approximately 7–14 days to remove the one-way door. We then permanently seal the entrance with professional-grade, colour-matched materials to prevent any future wildlife from moving in.
5 Signs You Have a Possum in Your Roof
How can you be sure it’s a possum and not a rat or mouse? Look for these tell-tale signs:
Noise at Dusk & Dawn
Loud thuds, running, and scratching sounds primarily around dusk and dawn as they leave and return.
Distinctive Smell
A strong, musky odour can seep from your ceiling into your living areas.
Droppings
Greenish, pellet-like droppings in your roof cavity or scattered around the garden.
Visible Damage
Grease marks or scratches around roof eaves, vents, or loose tiles.
Expert-Identified Entry Points
Possums leave distinctive markings. Our trained technicians are experts at finding the hard-to-spot entrances they use.
