Possum Removal

Brushtail and ringtail possums are protected native animals in NSW. They cannot legally be relocated more than 150 metres, and they cannot be harmed. The only lawful, lasting fix is to remove them from the roof and then proof the entry points so they take up the nest box outside instead. That is exactly what we do.

Signs to Watch For

  • Heavy thumping across the ceiling around dusk and dawn
  • Hissing, screeching or territorial growling overhead
  • A strong ammonia smell from ceiling insulation
  • Droppings in the roof void or along the gutter line
  • Damaged roof tiles, lifted sheeting or torn eave sheeting

Our Treatment Process

  • 1 Roof void inspection to confirm species and count
  • 2 One-way door fitted so possums leave but cannot re-enter
  • 3 All entry points located and permanently proofed
  • 4 Nest box installed on site as a legal alternative roost
  • 5 Soiled insulation removal and deodorising as required
  • 6 Return visit to confirm the roof is clear and sealed

Prevention Tips

  • Cut branches back at least two metres from the roofline
  • Cap chimneys and screen all eave and gable vents
  • Repair broken tiles and lifted ridge capping promptly
  • Fit a nest box before proofing, not after
  • Never block an entry point while young are still inside
