The Common Brushtail Possum: A Frequent Visitor
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.
Understanding Possum Behaviour & Impact
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:
- Noise Disturbances: Their scratching, thumping, and vocalizations can disrupt sleep and create anxiety, especially at night.
- Property Damage: Possums can damage insulation, wiring, and roofing materials as they create nests and access points.
- Hygiene Concerns: Possum droppings and urine can create unpleasant odors and pose potential health risks.
Signs of a Possum Infestation
Scratching, thumping, or hissing sounds, especially at night.
Possum droppings are large and dark, often found in attics, roof spaces, or near entry points.
Possums may tear insulation or chew on wiring to create nests or access points.
A strong, musky odour can indicate the presence of a possum.
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.
