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 Northcote 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 equipment are required, we explain the work before it begins.
The fixed price applies to most standard homes and includes:

Possum Removal for Northcote Homes
Northcote’s older homes, including workers’ cottages, Edwardian and Federation houses, and Californian bungalows, can have roof gaps around tiles, eaves, flashing, additions and renovations that allow possums to enter. Established gardens, street trees and nearby green corridors may also provide access to vulnerable rooflines.
Our Northcote possum removal service identifies the possum and how it is entering your home. We use humane removal methods, then secure the access points to help prevent the same or another possum from returning.
We provide possum removal in Northcote and surrounding suburbs, including:
Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof
Possum Removal Northcote FAQs
Common Brushtail Possums can be humanely removed from buildings in Victoria under specific conditions. If trapping is used, they must be released after sunset on the same property and within 50 metres of where they were captured.
Our preferred approach combines humane removal with roof proofing, allowing the possum to leave before its entry points are secured.
Usually not. Possums naturally use trees to move through suburban environments. Removing established trees does not address the main issue if there is still an accessible opening in the roof.
Our priority is identifying and securing the parts of the building that allow the possum inside. Where a branch or another structure provides easy access to a vulnerable area, this may also be discussed during the inspection.
Not necessarily. Possums, rats, birds and other animals can create noise inside or around a roof. Heavy footsteps and thumping at night can indicate a possum, while lighter scratching, scampering and gnawing may be associated with rodents.
An inspection allows us to look for physical signs of activity and determine the appropriate next step rather than relying on sound alone.
Yes. We provide possum removal in Northcote and surrounding inner-northern suburbs, including Thornbury, Fairfield, Clifton Hill, Fitzroy North and Brunswick East.
