Get the Possum Out
and Keep It Out

Getting the possum out is only part of the job. If its entry point remains open, the same animal or another possum may move back into the roof.

Our Box Hill possum removal service combines humane removal with professional roof proofing. We inspect accessible roof, exterior and subfloor areas, identify likely access points and secure the openings once the possum has left.

Where suitable, we use a one-way exit method before completing the proofing work. If specialised access or additional repairs are required, these are discussed before extra work begins.

$495
inc. GST

The fixed price applies to most standard homes and includes:

  • Inspection of accessible areas
  • Humane possum removal
  • Identification of entry points
  • Sealing and securing identified openings
  • Return visit to remove the exit device
  • Two-year money-back guarantee

Possum Removal for Box Hill Homes

Box Hill has a mix of older bungalows, post-war homes, renovated properties and newer developments. Gaps around tiles, eaves, vents, flashing and roof extensions can give possums access to ceiling spaces.

Mature trees and established gardens can help possums reach rooflines. Our Box Hill possum removal service identifies the entry point, allows the animal to leave humanely and secures the openings to help prevent re-entry.

We provide possum removal in Box Hill and surrounding suburbs, including:

  • Box Hill North
  • Box Hill South
  • Mont Albert
  • Blackburn
  • Surrey Hills
  • Blackburn North

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are usually most active after dark, so unusual noises at night are often the first sign homeowners notice.

Common signs of possum activity include:
  • Heavy thumping or movement during the night
  • Scratching around rooflines or inside ceilings
  • Droppings inside the roof or around access points
  • Musty or unpleasant odours
  • Damaged insulation or nesting material
  • Visible gaps around eaves, tiles or roof junctions
It is important to confirm whether the animal is actually a possum. Rats generally make lighter scratching, scampering and gnawing noises, while possums tend to produce heavier footsteps, bumps and thumps. An inspection helps identify the animal before the appropriate removal method is selected.

Possum Removal Box Hill FAQs

Common Brushtail Possums living inside buildings can be humanely controlled in Victoria under specific conditions. If trapping is used, a trapped Common Brushtail Possum must be released after sunset on the same property and no more than 50 metres from where it was captured. Relocating it elsewhere is prohibited.

Our approach combines humane removal with roof proofing so identified entry points can be secured once the possum has left.

Extensions and renovations can create extra joins between different roof sections, especially where older and newer construction meet.

We check accessible roof junctions, flashing, eaves and other likely entry points. If a section requires specialised access equipment, this is explained before additional work proceeds.

Not necessarily. Possums, rats, mice, birds and other animals can all create noise around roof and ceiling spaces. Heavy footsteps and thumping at night can indicate a possum, while lighter scratching, scampering and gnawing may point to rodents.

An inspection helps establish what is actually inside before the correct removal method is used.

Luke came over with short notice in 43 degree heat and managed to get the baby possum out from the chimney. Luke was fast , professional and communicated with me the whole time. I highly recommend this business.

Nella K

“Great service from start to finish. Matt was on time, extremely professional & quickly identified 3 holes in my roof which the possums were entering/exiting through.

Vivian

We had a great experience with 1800 POSSUMS! Matt and Sam were  friendly and really knew what they were doing. They inspected our property thoroughly, explained everything clearly, and did a great job proofing the house.

John

Matt arrived promptly, He checked the roof space and possible entry points, ascertained that rodents rather than possums were the issue, performed the required treatment and was on his way in under an hour.

keira Dewhurst

Sam was very professional when entering our home, to the point where he removed his shoes to walk from our front door to our back door for the work that needed to be done. He answered all my questions and concerns.

Caroline Deakin
