Emergency Possum Pest Control Service

Possum Pest Control for Real Estate, Landlords and Commercial Sites

When a tenant calls about scratching in the roof, you need it handled fast, legally, and without a messy back-and-forth. Our possum pest control service is built for property managers and landlords who want one clear outcome: the animal exits safely, and the building is properly proofed so it doesn’t happen again.

The standard possum removal and proofing service is $495 inc GST and includes a 2-year money-back guarantee across the entire building. If the scope is bigger than the standard package, we quote first and wait for approval.

What to do right now when a tenant reports possum activity

Ask the tenant not to block holes, stuff gaps, or climb into the roof space. That often creates a trapped-animal problem and can turn a simple job into a ceiling, odour, and complaint issue.

Get the basics from the tenant in one message: address, best contact number, access notes, when the noise happens, and whether there are pets onsite. If there’s any electrical concern or ceiling movement, treat it as a safety issue and tell us immediately.

What happens when you call or send a work order

We triage the report first, because possums, rats, and birds can sound similar and the fix is not the same. If it’s urgent, we’ll prioritise it where possible based on location, weather, and technician availability.

Once booked, we liaise directly with the tenant for access and timing, then keep you in the loop. You stay the decision-maker, but you don’t have to chase the tenant or micro-manage the visit.

What our possum pest control service includes

This service is designed to solve the root issue, which is almost always building access. We inspect the property to identify entry points and likely re-entry points, then install one-way doors so possums can exit humanely.

We seal and repair access points with appropriate materials, then complete a return visit to remove doors and seal final openings. The standard job includes the 2-year money-back guarantee on possum re-entry for the entire building.

If the noise turns out to be rodents instead of possums, we’ll flag it early so you can approve the correct treatment rather than paying twice for the wrong call-out.

If there’s a tenant complaint, an upcoming open home, a handover deadline, or a body corporate escalation, tell us upfront. We can often attend quickly when conditions allow, but we won’t promise impossible timeframes just to win the booking. The practical goal is not just “quiet tonight”. It’s quiet next week as well, because the entry points have been dealt with properly.

Possums are protected wildlife, so “possum pest control” is not poison and it’s not a random repeller. It needs a lawful, humane approach and competent work at heights around rooflines and eaves. We’re fully insured, and our process is designed to reduce risk to tenants, trades, and the property itself. If possums return through missed entry points or through our repairs within the warranty terms, we return and fix it.

We service Melbourne metro and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, and Brisbane metro within around 20 km of the Brisbane CBD in Queensland. If you manage properties across multiple suburbs, send the portfolio area and we’ll confirm coverage.

Why real estate teams use us for possum pest control

You get fixed pricing for the standard service, clear communication, and fewer repeat complaints because the focus is proofing, not a temporary removal. We work with existing agency processes and aim to keep the job simple: you approve the work, we coordinate access, and the property is secured against re-entry.

We also inspect thoroughly while we’re there. If we notice issues that could lead to repeat entry or ongoing damage, we flag them early so you can protect the asset and avoid future disputes.
