Our expert team specialises in humane possum pest control solutions, focusing on relocation and preventative measures to ensure a peaceful coexistence.
In Victoria, the Common Brushtail Possum is the most common species encountered in urban areas. While these nocturnal marsupials play a vital role in the ecosystem, their presence in roofs, ceilings, and wall cavities can lead to noise disturbances, property damage, and potential health concerns.
Possums are primarily nocturnal and arboreal, meaning they prefer to live in trees. However, as their natural habitat diminishes, they often seek shelter in human-made structures. While possums are generally harmless, their presence can cause:
Noises in the roof or walls – Scratching, thumping, or hissing sounds, especially at night.
Droppings – Possum droppings are large and dark, often found in attics, roof spaces, or near entry points.
Damage to insulation or wiring – Possums may tear insulation or chew on wiring to create nests or access points.
Smells – A strong, musky odour can indicate the presence of a possum.
Sightings – You may see possums entering or exiting your property, particularly at dusk or dawn.
If you suspect possums are residing in your home or business, it’s important to seek professional assistance for humane removal and prevention.
