Possums are an important part of Melbourne’s urban environment, but they can become a nuisance when they regularly access roofs, ceiling cavities and other areas around your property. Noises at night, droppings, unpleasant odours and repeated roof access can indicate possum activity. Professional possum control focuses on identifying the cause of the problem and using practical exclusion and prevention methods to reduce repeat access.
Effective possum control starts with understanding how the animal is accessing your property and why it is using the area for shelter. Our approach involves inspecting accessible areas, identifying signs of activity and locating potential entry points. Once the situation is assessed, suitable control and exclusion measures can be recommended to help prevent recurring possum problems.
✓ Possums regularly accessing roof or ceiling spaces.
✓ Scratching, thumping or movement sounds at night.
✓ Possum droppings or unpleasant odours around the property.
✓ Repeated possum activity around the roof.
✓ Identification of roof entry and access points.
✓ Professional possum control and exclusion solutions.
✓ Practical measures to reduce repeat roof access.
✓ Ongoing prevention advice for homeowners.
Possums are generally active during the night, so their presence may first become noticeable through nighttime noises or movement around the roof. Recognising these signs early can help you address the problem before it becomes a recurring issue.
✓ Scratching or thumping noises after dark.
✓ Possums moving across the roof at night.
✓ Droppings around roof areas or gutters.
✓ Unusual smells coming from ceiling spaces.
✓ Disturbed insulation or other roof materials.
✓ Visible gaps that may provide roof access.
A detailed inspection can help determine where possums are entering and what areas of the property may be affected. We assess accessible roof areas and look for signs of activity, potential entry points and conditions that may encourage possums to return.
Identifying the source of the problem allows a suitable control and prevention strategy to be developed for your property.
Possum control is not simply about removing an animal from a roof. If the access point remains open, another possum may use the same area in the future.
Where appropriate, one-way exclusion methods can allow a possum to leave while preventing it from returning. Once the area is confirmed to be clear, suitable roof access points can be secured to help reduce future problems.
