Get the Possum Out
and Keep It Out

Removing a possum without securing its access points does not address the complete problem. Our service combines humane removal with professional proofing to help protect your home from noise, mess and repeat visits.

We inspect accessible areas of your roof, exterior and subfloor to locate signs of activity and potential entry points. We then use suitable one-way exit methods and seal identified openings with durable materials.

If your property falls outside the standard scope, we will explain the additional requirements before beginning the work.

$495
inc. GST

  • Inspection of accessible areas
  • Humane possum removal
  • Identification of entry points
  • Sealing and securing identified openings

Possum Removal for Abbotsford Homes

Abbotsford contains older Victorian terraces, converted properties, mature trees and closely connected rooflines. Extensions, deteriorating eaves, loose roofing materials and small gaps around roof junctions may provide possums with a way inside.

Our service addresses the animal inside the building and the access points it may be using. This is more effective than simply removing the possum while leaving the roof vulnerable to re-entry.

We provide possum removal services in Abbotsford and nearby areas, including:

  • Collingwood
  • Richmond
  • Clifton Hill
  • Fitzroy
  • Kew
  • Burnley
  • More

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

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 Abbotsford FAQs

Common Brushtail Possums living inside buildings in Victoria can be humanely controlled under specific conditions. When trapping is used, an approved cage trap that does not cause injury must be used. The possum must be released after sunset on the same property and within 50 metres of where it was captured.

Possums cannot legally be taken to another property, park or distant location. Our preferred process uses humane one-way exit methods and roof proofing to allow the possum to leave before its identified access points are secured.

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.

Removing the possum without fixing its entry points may allow it or another possum to enter again. Our service includes proofing identified access points using suitable materials to reduce the risk of re-entry.

The standard proofing service is backed by a two-year money-back guarantee. Coverage remains subject to the confirmed warranty conditions and agreed scope of work.

What Abbotsford Homeowners Say

keira Dewhurst

Sam was very professional when entering our home, to the point where he removed his shoes to walk from our front door to our back door for the work that needed to be done. He answered all my questions and concerns.

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.

Kiran Shivashankar

Luke from 1800 Possums was absolutely outstanding! He successfully removed the possums from our roof, which stopped our light switches from constantly tripping.

John

Matt arrived promptly, He checked the roof space and possible entry points, ascertained that rodents rather than possums were the issue, performed the required treatment and was on his way in under an hour.

Caroline Deakin

Fantastic service by Luke and the team! We are finally possum free in the most humane way! Thanks so much for your great service Luke.
