Possum Inspection & Report

  • Thorough Property Inspection
    Full visual inspection of your roof cavity, eaves, gutters, and exterior to identify signs of possum activity — scratching, droppings, smells, or damage.

  • Roof Cavity & Entry Point Check
    We locate how possums are getting in, where they’re nesting, and any damage they’ve done along the way.

  • Advice on Prevention & Next Steps
    Clear communication on what’s needed — from removal to repairs — and legal considerations for relocation.

Entry Point Sealing and Repair

  • Entry Hole Identification
    We pinpoint all current and potential access points around eaves, tiles, vents, and flashing.

  • Sealing & Reinforcement
    We block re-entry with quality materials (mesh, timber, metal sheeting) to ensure a long-term fix.

  • Roof & Gutter Damage Repair
    Minor repairs to possum-related damage — torn insulation, broken tiles, gnawed timber — to get your roof back in shape.

Safe and Humane Possum Removal

  • One-Way Door Installation (If Suitable)
    Install one-way exit doors to let possums out but not back in — ideal for certain roof access points.
  • Cage Trapping "Last Resort" (Compliant with ACT & NSW Regulations)
    We use approved traps and handling methods, ensuring no harm comes to the possum — in full compliance with wildlife protection laws.
  • Timely Collection & Release
    Trapped possums are safely relocated within the legal range (within 50m of capture site, as per ACT guidelines).

Follow-Up and Maintenance (if required)

  • Re-Inspection (If Required)
    We’ll return to check traps, assess effectiveness of sealing, and confirm no re-entry.

  • Ongoing Prevention Advice
    Guidance on pruning overhanging trees, managing roof access, and long-term prevention.

  • Combination Services Available
    Combine with roof reports, gutter cleans, or general maintenance to save time and keep your home possum-proof.

Service Options

  • One-Off Possum Removal Callouts
    We’ll trap, relocate, and seal the entry points — no ongoing contracts required.

  • Roof & Wildlife Prevention Packages
    Combine possum removal with roof checks, tile repairs, gutter guard installs, and maintenance.

Legal and Ethical Removal

We strictly follow ACT and NSW wildlife legislation. Possums are protected animals — we never harm or relocate them beyond the legal distance. We work with the goal of safe removal and permanent prevention, with full transparency throughout the process.
