Get the Possum Out
and Keep It Out

Getting a possum out of your roof is only part of the solution. If the entry point remains open, the same possum or another animal may return.

Our Croydon possum removal service combines humane removal with professional roof proofing. We inspect accessible roof, exterior and subfloor areas to identify activity and locate likely entry points.

Where suitable, we use a one-way exit method before securing identified openings with durable materials. If additional repairs or specialised access equipment are required, we explain the work before it 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 Croydon Homes

Croydon has a mix of established detached homes, renovated properties and newer development surrounded by mature gardens and established trees. Maroondah Council identifies vegetation, private gardens and tree canopy as important parts of the municipality's residential character.

Gaps around roof tiles, eaves, vents, flashing and extensions can allow possums into ceiling spaces. Our Croydon possum removal service identifies the entry point, provides a humane way for the animal to leave and secures the openings to help prevent re-entry.

We provide possum removal in Croydon and surrounding suburbs, including:

  • Croydon North
  • Croydon South
  • Croydon Hills
  • Ringwood
  • Ringwood East
  • Mooroolbark
  • Kilsyth
  • More

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
Rats generally produce lighter scampering and gnawing sounds, while possums are more likely to produce heavy movement, hissing or thumping. An inspection can confirm what is actually inside before removal work begins.

Possum Removal Croydon 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 within 50 metres of where it was captured. Relocation elsewhere is prohibited.

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

The $495 price includes GST and applies to most standard homes. It covers an inspection of accessible areas, humane possum removal, identification and sealing of entry points, a return visit where required and a two-year money-back guarantee. Properties requiring extensive repairs, specialised access equipment or work outside the standard scope may need a separate quotation. We will discuss this with you before additional work begins.

Properties with mature vegetation may see more native wildlife moving through gardens and along residential streets.

Maroondah Council describes established trees, gardens and vegetation as important features across its neighbourhoods.

Seeing possums outside is normal. A roof problem only develops when an animal finds a suitable way into the building.

Extremely pleased with the professional, friendly service. Sam completed a very thorough inspection, including potential entry points at adjoining townhouses. Happy to report that my uninvited ‘houseguests’ have moved on.

Thankyou. Excellent serivce and communication from 1800POSSUMS in Melbourne. Matt solved our possum problem by installing a temporary one way trap door. This worked quickly just as Matt and Bryan said it would. No hesitation in recommending these guys. Thankyou.
