Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are possums dangerous?
Possums are not typically aggressive, but they can cause significant damage to roofs, insulation, and wiring. They may also carry parasites. It’s best to remove them professionally.
Is it legal to remove a possum from my property?
Yes, but only licensed professionals can legally trap and relocate possums in Victoria. Possums are protected wildlife, and harming them can result in heavy penalties.
How do you remove possums?
We use approved humane traps to capture the possum, followed by safe relocation according to state guidelines. We also identify and seal any entry points to prevent future access.
Will the possum come back after removal?
If re-entry points aren’t sealed, there’s a high chance the possum will return or be replaced by another. That’s why we include proofing and prevention as part of our service.
Do you offer same-day possum removal?
Yes, we aim to offer same-day or next-day service, especially for urgent cases involving damage or noise disturbances at night.
How much does possum control cost?
Pricing depends on the location, number of possums, and roof access, but we offer affordable, transparent quotes. Contact us for a free inspection or estimate.
