Humane Possum Removal and Roof Proofing in Brisbane
We provide possum removal services in Brisbane and nearby areas, including:
FAQs
Common signs include heavy footsteps or scratching noises at night, movement in the roof or wall cavities, droppings, unpleasant odours, and visible entry points around the roofline. Because rats and other animals can make similar noises, a professional inspection can help identify what is actually causing the disturbance before treatment begins.
Professional possum removal generally starts with an inspection of the roof, exterior and other accessible areas to locate signs of activity and possible entry points. Where appropriate, a one-way exit device can allow the possum to leave the building naturally while preventing it from getting back inside. Remaining entry points are then sealed to reduce the risk of another possum moving into the roof.
Yes, but possums are protected native wildlife in Queensland, so removal must follow the applicable wildlife regulations. Queensland Government guidance states that possum removal should be carried out by licensed commercial possum relocators. If a possum is trapped, it must be released within 25 metres of where it was captured.
1800 Possums currently offers standard possum removal and proofing for $495 including GST for most standard homes. This includes an inspection, possum removal and sealing identified entry points. If additional work outside the standard scope is required, the options and costs are discussed before that work begins.
In many Brisbane service areas, the removal and proofing process can begin within 1 to 2 business days of booking, subject to availability and weather conditions. Because possums are nocturnal, one-way exit systems are designed to let them leave the roof when they naturally head outside to feed.
It can if the entry points are left open. Possums are territorial and may attempt to return to a familiar den, while another possum may also take advantage of an accessible roof space. This is why possum proofing is an important part of the removal process. Sealing gaps, openings and other access points helps prevent re-entry.
1800 Possums generally uses humane one-way exit methods rather than relying on trapping. The exit device allows the possum to leave the building but prevents it from coming back through the same opening. Once the possum has left safely, the remaining access point can be sealed as part of the proofing process.
Roof noises can also be caused by rats, mice, birds and other animals, which is why correct identification matters. A professional inspection can look for droppings, entry points, nesting material and other signs to determine what is living in the roof. This helps ensure the right removal or pest-control method is used rather than treating the wrong problem.
