Why Do Possums Invade Properties in Melbourne?
Melbourne’s urban environment provides possums with ample shelter and food sources. These nocturnal creatures are often drawn to attics, roof spaces, sheds, or chimneys in search of a safe place to nest. Common signs of a possum infestation include loud scratching noises at night, unpleasant odors from droppings, and damage to roofing materials. Ignoring these signs can lead to further complications, including structural damage and health concerns caused by bacteria or parasites carried by possums.

Our licensed pest control experts conduct a thorough assessment of your property to locate possum entry points and nesting areas. We inspect attics, roof cavities, and exterior spaces to identify how possums are accessing your home.
2. Customised Removal Plan
After identifying the problem areas, we design a tailored possum removal plan. This ensures that our methods are effective while adhering to wildlife protection laws, which prohibit harming or trapping possums without a permit.
