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 Mount Waverley 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.

  • Inspection of accessible areas

Possum Removal for Mount Waverley Homes

Mount Waverley has many established 1950s and 1960s brick veneer homes, renovated properties and newer two-storey development set among mature gardens and canopy trees. Gaps around tiled roofs, eaves, vents, flashing and extensions can give possums access to sheltered ceiling spaces.

Trees, fences and established gardens can also help possums reach rooflines. Our Mount Waverley possum removal service identifies how the animal is getting inside, provides a humane way for it to leave and secures the openings to help prevent re-entry.

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.

What Mount Waverley Homeowners Say

Leonard Sacco

We had a possum making a home in our roof and we called upon 1800 Possums to help us with our situation. Matt did a great job at our place, he was very responsive and completed the job.

Prakash Samuel

Sam showed up at the agreed time and was quick to find and sort out the primary possum entry point. He also checked out the roof to seal off the other gaps, which was a bonus! Followed up a week later to complete the removal.

Maryanne Hanlon

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.

Tony Cagney

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.

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.
