Suspect a possum is living in your roof or around your property? A professional possum inspection can help identify signs of activity, locate potential entry points and determine where the animal may be sheltering. Early inspection can make it easier to address possum activity before it becomes a recurring problem.
Possums are mostly active at night, so their presence is not always immediately obvious. Scratching sounds, movement across the roof, droppings, unusual odours and visible roof gaps can all indicate possum activity. A detailed inspection helps establish what is happening and where the possum may be gaining access.

A possum inspection involves looking for both obvious and less visible signs of activity. Entry points can occur around roof tiles, eaves, vents, fascia and other areas where gaps or damage provide access.
✓ Gaps beneath roof tiles.
✓ Openings around eaves and fascia.
✓ Damaged or displaced roofing materials.
✓ Signs of movement around roof access points.
✓ Droppings or other evidence of possum activity.
✓ Disturbed insulation inside roof cavities.
✓ Areas where trees or structures provide roof access.
Our inspection focuses on understanding how possums may be accessing your property and where they are likely sheltering. Accessible areas of the roof are assessed for potential entry points and visible signs of activity.
Finding the source of the problem is an important first step before carrying out possum removal, relocation, proofing or exclusion work.
Even when a possum is no longer visible, an open access point can allow it or another possum to return. Identifying these vulnerable areas during an inspection helps determine whether exclusion or proofing work may be required.
Once the inspection is complete, suitable recommendations can be provided based on the condition of the property and the signs found.
✓ Helps identify the source of possum activity.

✓ Helps detect signs that may not be visible from ground level.
✓ Can identify areas requiring possum proofing.
