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 Indooroopilly 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 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 Indooroopilly Homes

Indooroopilly has a mix of older Queenslander and timber homes, renovated properties, established streets and newer apartments and townhouses. Elevated and sloping blocks can create complex rooflines, while ageing roofs, eaves, vents, flashing, gables and extensions may develop gaps that allow possums into roof and ceiling spaces.

Mature vegetation, trees, fences and adjoining structures can help possums reach a roofline, but they still need an accessible opening to get inside. Our Indooroopilly possum removal service identifies the entry point, provides a humane way for the possum to leave and secures the access points to help prevent re-entry.

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

  • Taringa
  • St Lucia
  • Chelmer
  • Fig Tree Pocket
  • Chapel Hill
  • Mount Coot-tha
  • 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 Indooroopilly 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 a licensed commercial possum relocator. A trapped possum must be released within 25 metres of where it was captured.

Our approach focuses on humane removal together with roof proofing so the access points being used can be secured and the problem is less likely to recur.

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.

A possum may try to return to a familiar den site, and another possum may also investigate the same roof if it remains accessible.

This is why roof proofing is an important part of the service. After the possum has left, we secure the identified openings using suitable materials to help reduce the chance of re-entry.

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

What Indooroopilly Homeowners Say

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.

Ben Erskine

Overall a great experience with the 1800 Possums team. They were very helpful over the phone when I initially rang seeking advise, I think I spoke to Luke. The next afternoon I made a booking and Benn was out the following day possum …

Jack Hooper

We’ve engaged another possum company in Brisbane before without success. These guys did exactly what we needed them to do. Highly recommend.

Sharleen Wilson

Very happy with 1800possums. Benn did a stellar job removing the possum and possum proofing it’s entry (the whirlybird) from our very high roof. Great communication throughout the process and he was able to do it at a more competitive price.

Tom Fogarty

Fantastic service. Benn did a wonderful job safely removing and proofing our possum problem. (Inner North East Brisbane)

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.
