Get the Possum Out
and Keep It Out
Removing a possum from your roof is only part of the job. If the opening it used is left accessible, the same possum or another animal may be able to enter the roof again.
Our Templestowe possum removal service combines humane removal with professional roof proofing. We inspect accessible areas of the roof, exterior and subfloor to look for signs of activity and identify likely entry points.
Where suitable, we use a one-way exit method that allows the possum to leave while helping prevent it from getting back through the same opening. Other identified access points are then secured using appropriate, durable materials.
If your property requires extensive repairs, specialised access equipment or work outside our standard service, we will explain what is required before additional work begins.
The fixed price applies to most standard homes and includes:

Possum Removal for Templestowe Homes
Templestowe has a mix of established detached homes, larger residential blocks and newer infill properties, with many streets surrounded by mature trees and established gardens. Roof spaces can become attractive shelter for possums when gaps develop around tiles, eaves, roof junctions, extensions or other vulnerable parts of the building. The suburb’s leafy environment also gives possums plenty of opportunities to move between trees, fences and residential properties, particularly when branches provide access to a roof with existing openings.
Our Templestowe possum removal service focuses on finding both the animal and the way it is getting inside. We provide a humane exit, identify the openings being used and secure those access points to help reduce the chance of the same possum or another animal moving into the roof space again.
We provide possum removal in Templestowe and surrounding suburbs, including:

Roof spaces provide shelter from weather and a protected place for possums to rest during the day.
Homes can become accessible when openings develop around roof tiles, eaves, flashing, extensions, vents or roof junctions. In a leafy suburb such as Templestowe, trees, fences and other structures can also provide routes towards the roofline.
The key issue is usually not simply that possums are present nearby, but that there is an opening allowing one to enter the building.
Not necessarily. Possums naturally live in areas with established trees, and removing healthy trees is not normally required as part of roof proofing.
The priority is identifying and securing openings in the building itself. Where branches or nearby structures provide easy access to a vulnerable section of the roof, this may also be discussed during the inspection.
