Possum proofing is an important step in protecting Melbourne homes from unwanted roof and ceiling access. Gaps around roof tiles, eaves, vents and other openings can provide possums with easy access to sheltered spaces. Professional possum proofing focuses on identifying these access points and securing them appropriately after confirming that no possum is trapped inside.
Possums can repeatedly return to the same roof space if suitable entry points are left open. Our possum proofing service focuses on locating potential access points around your property and providing practical exclusion solutions. From roof gaps and loose tiles to eaves and other openings, securing vulnerable areas can help reduce the likelihood of future possum entry.

Possums can take advantage of relatively small gaps and weaknesses around a roof. Identifying these areas is an important part of effective possum proofing. A professional inspection can help locate vulnerable points that may not be obvious from ground level.
✓ Openings along roof edges and eaves.
✓ Damaged or displaced roofing materials.
✓ Gaps around fascia and roof structures.
✓ Openings around vents and pipes.
✓ Areas where branches provide easy access to the roof.
Effective proofing starts with finding how possums are accessing the property. We inspect accessible roof areas and look for visible gaps, damage and signs of possum activity. Once potential entry points have been identified, suitable proofing measures can be considered based on the structure and condition of the roof.
The aim is not simply to close a visible hole, but to address the access route that may be allowing possums to enter the roof space.
Possum exclusion involves securing suitable access points so that possums cannot easily return to a roof space after they have safely left. Depending on the property, this may involve addressing gaps around tiles, eaves, roof edges or other vulnerable areas.
Any exclusion work should be carried out carefully to avoid trapping an animal inside the roof or separating dependent young from a mother.
