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 Cannon Hill possum removal service combines humane removal with professional roof proofing. We inspect accessible roof, exterior and subfloor areas to identify possum activity and 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.

  • Inspection of accessible areas
  • Humane possum removal
  • Identification of entry points
  • Sealing and securing identified openings
  • Return visit to remove the exit device

Possum Removal for Cannon Hill Homes

Cannon Hill’s established post-war homes, older timber properties, renovations and newer developments can have roof gaps around eaves, tiles, vents, flashing, gables and extensions, giving possums access to ceiling spaces. Nearby green areas such as Murarrie Recreation Reserve, Minnippi Parklands and the Bulimba Creek corridor also provide habitat and movement routes for native wildlife.

Our Cannon Hill possum removal service identifies how the possum is entering, provides a humane way for it to leave and secures the access points being used. This helps resolve the immediate problem and reduce the chance of the same or another possum returning.

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

  • Morningside
  • Murarrie
  • Murarrie
  • Carina
  • Seven Hills

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are nocturnal, so unusual activity after dark is often the first sign homeowners notice.

Common signs of possum activity include:
  • Heavy thumping or movement across the ceiling
  • Scratching inside the roof or around roof edges
  • Noises that become more noticeable after sunset
  • Droppings inside the roof or near access points
  • Musty or unpleasant odours
  • Disturbed or damaged insulation
  • Nesting material inside the roof
  • Visible openings around eaves, tiles or roof junctions
It is important to confirm whether the animal is a possum, as rats usually make lighter scratching and scampering noises, while possums produce heavier footsteps and thumps. An inspection helps identify the animal before removal.

Possum Removal Cannon Hill FAQs

Yes, but possums are protected native wildlife in Queensland and their removal must follow wildlife regulations.

Possum removal must be undertaken by licensed commercial possum relocators where trapping is involved. Queensland Government guidance requires a trapped possum to be released within 25 metres of where it was captured.

Our approach combines humane removal with roof proofing so the access points being used can be secured and the risk of re-entry reduced.

A possum may try to return to a familiar shelter, and another possum can also investigate the roof if entry points remain open.

That is why proofing is an important part of the service. Once the possum has left, we secure the identified openings using suitable materials to help reduce the chance of re-entry.

Our standard proofing work is backed by a two-year money-back guarantee, subject to the confirmed warranty conditions and agreed scope of work.

Not necessarily. Possums, rats, mice, birds and other animals can all create noise around roof and ceiling spaces.

Heavy footsteps and thumping after dark may indicate a possum, while quicker scratching, scampering and gnawing can be more typical of rodents.

Our inspection looks for physical evidence so the source of the problem can be identified before the appropriate removal method is used.
