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 Ashgrove possum removal service combines humane removal with professional roof proofing. We inspect accessible roof, exterior and subfloor areas to identify possum activity and likely entry points.

Where suitable, we use a one-way exit method that allows the possum to leave naturally while preventing it from returning through the same opening. Other identified access points are then secured with durable materials. If additional repairs or specialised access equipment are required, we explain the work before it begins

$495
inc. GST

  • 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 Ashgrove Homes

Ashgrove is known for its older Queenslander and Ashgrovian homes, many featuring elevated timber construction, verandahs, gabled roofs and complex rooflines. As these homes age or undergo renovations, gaps can develop around eaves, flashing, vents, gables and roof extensions, creating access to sheltered ceiling spaces.

Mature trees, gardens and fences can also help possums reach the roof. Our Ashgrove possum removal service identifies the entry point, provides a humane way for the possum to leave and secures the opening to help prevent future re-entry.

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

  • The Gap
  • Enoggera
  • Alderley
  • Newmarket
  • Red Hill
  • Bardon
  • More

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are nocturnal, so unusual activity after dark is often the first sign homeowners notice.

Common signs of possum activity include:
  • Heavy thumping or movement across the ceiling
  • Scratching inside the roof or around roof edges
  • Noises that become more noticeable after sunset
  • Droppings inside the roof or near access points
  • Musty or unpleasant odours
  • Disturbed or damaged insulation
  • Nesting material inside the roof
  • Visible openings around eaves, tiles or roof junctions
It is important to confirm whether the animal is a possum, as rats usually make lighter scratching and scampering noises, while possums produce heavier footsteps and thumps. An inspection helps identify the animal before removal.

Possum Removal Ashgrove FAQs

Yes, but possums are protected native wildlife in Queensland and their removal must follow wildlife regulations.

Commercial possum removal involving trapping must be carried out by an appropriately licensed possum relocator. If a possum is trapped, Queensland Government guidance requires it to be released within 25 metres of where it was captured.

1800 Possums generally uses humane one-way exit methods rather than relying on traps. This allows the possum to leave the building naturally before its identified access points are secured.

The $495 fixed price includes GST and applies to most standard homes.

The service includes:

  • Inspection of accessible areas
  • Humane possum removal
  • Identification of likely entry points
  • Sealing and securing identified openings
  • A return visit where required
  • Two-year money-back guarantee

Properties requiring extensive building repairs, specialised access equipment or work outside the standard scope may require an additional quotation. Any additional work will be discussed before it begins.

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

Ashgrove has many traditional Queenslander and Ashgrovian homes where gaps can develop around roof sheets, eaves, gables, vents, flashing and extensions. Mature trees and established gardens can also provide routes towards the roofline.

A possum problem usually begins when an animal discovers an accessible opening in the building.

What Ashgrove Homeowners Say

Bryan Bui

Benn did a great job with our possum issue. He was friendly, professional with good communication skill. We had a renovation going on so it was a bit complex but he was able to work with us. Highly recommended!

Sara Davies

Prompt response and solved within a very reasonable timeframe. Full explanation of the situation and the work required. I hope I don’t need them again (!) but I will definitely call them first if I do.

Shona Hicks

Awesome service at a good price – and one of the few companies who put a price on their websites! I had either very noisy possums or rats inside the walls and ceilings of my 2 storey townhouse.

V Perera

Benn did a fantastic job. He came and climbed up on to my 2 storey Queenslander roof and setup up one way doors at the access points so the critters left and couldn’t get back in. Showed me photos of the nesting spots.

Sarah Barnett

What l love about this experience is the humane way of dealing with a possum problem . When possums are removed from their area very few survive.

Hugo

Fantastic service. Friendly service, very efficient and knowledgeable. We had a difficult older property with limited access. Ben did a great job making it work.
