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 Doveton 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 Doveton Homes

Doveton has many established detached homes dating from the suburb's post-war development, alongside renovated properties and newer townhouses. Ageing eaves, roof tiles, vents, flashing and extensions can develop gaps that give possums access to roof and ceiling spaces. City of Casey records Doveton's development as a major Housing Commission estate from the 1950s, with many single-storey detached homes.

Established trees, gardens and the nearby Dandenong and Eumemmerring Creek corridors also provide natural routes for wildlife. Our Doveton possum removal service identifies how the possum is entering, provides a humane way for it to leave and secures the openings to help prevent re-entry.

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

  • Dandenong
  • Dandenong North
  • Endeavour Hills
  • Eumemmerring
  • Dandenong South

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 Doveton FAQs

Common Brushtail Possums living inside buildings can be humanely controlled in Victoria under specific conditions.

If trapping is used, the possum must be released after sunset on the same property and no more than 50 metres from 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.

Roof spaces provide possums with a dry, sheltered place to rest during the day.

Doveton has many established homes where gaps can develop around eaves, tiles, vents, flashing and roof extensions. Renovations may also create additional roof junctions that need to be checked.

Trees and fences can help possums reach the building, but an accessible opening is what allows them inside.

What Doveton Homeowners Say

KS T

Sam was amazing and professional. We had a possum scurrying through out walls and ceiling. He quickly identified entry points that we had not seen, blocked other entrances/exits, installed a one-way door.

Kerryn Graham

Very thorough. We had multiple possums, with a number of different access points and a tricky split-level roof. Luke from 1800 Possums sorted it for us and did a great job and I would highly recommend.

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.

Sharon Anderson

We had a great experience with 1800Possums. Very professional. Communication and punctuality was great. Entry points were located, closed and the possum moved out.

Chloe Webb

We had Luke looking after us and he was fantastic, he kept returning until we were officially possum free. An amazing service for an amazing price, I would recommend them to anyone.

Yen Ho

Very professional, friendly and experienced team. They were able to quickly identify that it was rodent not possum that had gone into our roof cavities and duly treated it.
