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 Carindale 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.

$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 Carindale Homes

Carindale is largely made up of detached family homes, including many brick-and-tile houses built from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Large roof areas, tiled ridges, eaves, vents, flashing and extensions can develop gaps that allow possums into roof spaces.

Established gardens and green corridors near Bulimba Creek, Belmont Bushland Reserve and Pacific Golf Club provide movement routes for possums, while trees and fences can help them reach rooflines. Our Carindale service removes possums humanely, identifies how they entered and secures the access points to help prevent their return.

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

  • Carina
  • Carina Heights
  • Tingalpa
  • Belmont
  • Mansfield
  • Mount Gravatt East
  • Mackenzie
  • More

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are nocturnal animals, so homeowners often first notice signs of activity after dark.

Common signs of possum activity include:
  • Heavy footsteps or thumping above the ceiling
  • Scratching around the roof or wall cavities
  • Movement that becomes more noticeable after sunset
  • Droppings inside the roof space
  • Strong or unpleasant odours
  • Staining on ceilings
  • Disturbed insulation or nesting material
  • Visible gaps around eaves, tiles, vents or roof junctions
It is important to confirm whether the animal is a possum, as rats typically make lighter scratching, scampering and gnawing sounds, while possums produce heavier footsteps, bumps and thumps. An inspection helps identify the animal before selecting the appropriate removal method.

Possum Removal Carindale FAQs

Yes, but possums are protected native wildlife in Queensland, so removal must follow wildlife regulations. Commercial trapping must be carried out by an appropriately licensed possum relocator, and trapped possums must be released within 25 metres of where they were captured.

Our approach combines humane removal with roof proofing. Once the possum has left, we secure the access points being used to help prevent it, or another possum, from returning.

The $495 fixed price includes GST and applies to most standard homes.

The service includes:

  • Inspection of accessible areas
  • Humane possum removal
  • Identification of likely entry points
  • Sealing and securing identified openings
  • A return visit where required
  • Two-year money-back guarantee

Properties requiring extensive building repairs, specialised access equipment or work outside the standard scope may require an additional quotation. Any additional work will be discussed before it begins.

Roof spaces give possums a sheltered place to rest during the day.

Carindale has many established brick-and-tile homes with broad roof areas. Gaps can develop around tiles, ridge sections, eaves, vents, flashing and extensions, giving possums an opportunity to enter.

Trees, fences and nearby vegetation can help them reach the building, but an accessible opening is what allows them into the roof.

Yes. We provide possum removal in Carindale and surrounding eastern and south-eastern Brisbane suburbs, including Carina, Carina Heights, Tingalpa, Belmont, Mansfield, Mount Gravatt East and Mackenzie.

Service availability can depend on your exact address, property access and weather conditions. Enter your address through our booking system to confirm availability.

Benn was very helpful and professional and efficient in assisting us with a possum trapped in our roof. Thoroughly recommend. And possum has not returned!

Prompt response and solved within a very reasonable timeframe. Full explanation of the situation and the work required. I hope I don’t need them again (!) but I will definitely call them first if I do.

Sharleen Wilson

Very happy with 1800possums. Benn did a stellar job removing the possum and possum proofing it’s entry (the whirlybird) from our very high roof. Great communication throughout the process and he was able to do it at a more competitive price.

What l love about this experience is the humane way of dealing with a possum problem . When possums are removed from their area very few survive.
