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 Wantirna 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.

Possum Removal for Wantirna Homes

Wantirna has many established homes with leafy gardens, larger residential blocks and newer medium-density developments. Gaps around roof tiles, eaves, vents, flashing, extensions and roof junctions can allow possums to enter roof spaces, particularly where trees, fences or neighbouring properties provide access to the roofline.

Our Wantirna possum removal service identifies how the possum is getting inside, provides a humane way for it to leave and secures the access points being used. This addresses the immediate problem while helping reduce the chance of the same possum or another animal returning.

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

  • Wantirna South
  • Bayswater
  • Heathmont
  • Ringwood

Signs You May Have a Possum in Your Roof

Possums are usually most active after dark, so the first sign of a problem is often noise coming from the ceiling or roof space at night.

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
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 Wantirna 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.

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

Roof spaces provide shelter from weather and a protected place for possums to rest.

Gaps around roof tiles, eaves, vents, flashing, extensions and other roof junctions can provide access. Homes surrounded by established trees and gardens may also be easier for possums to approach if branches, fences or nearby structures provide a route towards the roof.

The main issue is usually not the presence of possums in the neighbourhood, but an opening that allows one to enter the building.
