When to call us
Signs it's time to pick up the phone.
Most problems are worth treating sooner than later. Here are the signals our technicians hear most.
Scratching or thumping in the roof at night
Possums are nocturnal, so activity after dark in your ceiling usually means one has moved in.
Droppings in the roof or on the verandah
Possum droppings are distinctive, and finding them near access points confirms which animal you're dealing with.
A possum nesting near the main entry
If one is frequenting your roof void, eviction is far easier before it settles in and damages wiring or insulation.
Damaged roof tiles or vents
Damage around the roofline is often how they get in, and fixing it while evicting is the only way to stop repeat visits.
Treatment process
How the treatment actually works.
Every job starts with finding the source, not just treating the symptom.
Confirm it's a possum
We identify the species and check whether young are present, which decides the humane eviction timing.
Humanely evict & exclude
The possum is given a clear way out, then entry points are sealed so it can't return to the same roof.
Check for damage & advise
We inspect for chewed wiring or insulation and advise on any repairs needed, plus ways to make your yard less inviting.
How it works
Simple from the first call.
Tell us what's going on, pick a time that suits, and let a local professional handle the rest.
Step 01
Book a visit
Tell us what you're hearing or seeing and we'll come out to assess, often within a day or two.
Step 02
Evict & seal
The possum leaves through an exclusion one-way door, and entry points get sealed once it's confirmed out.
Step 03
Stay protected
We check the roofline is proofed and give you simple advice so a new possum doesn't move in later.
Guide
Possum Removal in Sydney: Humane, Legal & Roof Proofing
Straight answers on possums in Sydney: what the law allows, which possum is in your roof, how humane eviction works and what roof proofing involves.
Is possum removal legal in NSW?
Possums are protected native wildlife. They can't be harmed, trapped without approval or relocated far from home. Humane eviction with one-way exclusion doors is the lawful and effective approach.
Possum sounds in the roof at night
Scratching, thumping and soft grunting after dark usually means a possum has moved into the ceiling void. The earlier it's dealt with, the less damage it can do.
Brushtail vs ringtail possums
Brushtails are bigger, noisier and most common in roofs; ringtails nest in dome-shaped dreys and travel along powerlines and fences. The species determines the eviction method.
How one-way possum exclusion works
The possum can leave through a one-way door but can't re-enter. Once we confirm it's gone, the access points are permanently sealed and the roofline checked.
Possum damage to your property
Roof residents chew wiring and insulation, tear up vents and leave droppings that smell. Part of the job is checking for damage and advising on repairs.
How much does possum removal cost in Sydney?
Possum removal quotes are free and based on your property, the access points and whether young are present. Proofing and damage advice are included in the program.
