Possums in Your Roof? Here's What's at Stake

Possums are protected wildlife, but that doesn't mean you have to share your home with them. Left unchecked, they cause real damage.

🏠

Property Damage

Possums chew through electrical wiring, insulation, timber framing, and plasterboard. They can cause thousands in repair costs and create fire hazards.

⚠ Chewed wiring is a fire risk
💤

Sleep Disruption

Possums are nocturnal — they scratch, thump, and run through your ceiling space all night. The noise makes it impossible to sleep properly.

⚠ Nightly noise from dusk to dawn
🦠

Health Concerns

Possum urine and droppings stain ceilings, create odour, and attract insects. urine can seep through plaster, causing brown stains and a strong ammonia smell.

⚠ Ceiling stains & ammonia odour
What's Included

Our Possum Removal Process

Humane, legal, and effective — we remove possums and make sure they don't come back.

Roof & Property Inspection

We inspect your roof cavity, identify possum species (brushtail or ringtail), locate entry/exit points, and assess the extent of damage.

Humane Trapping / One-Way Door

We use humane cage traps or one-way exit doors that allow the possum to leave but not re-enter. No harm to the animal at any stage.

Entry Point Sealing

All entry points sealed with galvanised steel mesh, timber, or flashing to prevent re-entry. We check eaves, broken tiles, gaps in fascia, and soffit vents.

Nesting Box Installation

Victorian law requires possums be released within 50m of capture. We install a nesting box on your property so the possum has an alternative home nearby.

Legal Compliance

All work complies with the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975. Possums are protected — we hold the appropriate licences and follow DELWP guidelines.

Written Warranty

We guarantee our sealing work. If a possum gets back in through a point we sealed during the warranty period, we come back at no charge.

Warning Signs

Signs You Have Possums in Your Roof

!

Loud Thumping at Night

Heavy thumping, scratching, and running sounds in your ceiling from dusk onwards. Possums are much louder than rats or mice.

!

Brown Ceiling Stains

Yellow or brown stains appearing on your ceiling plaster from possum urine. Often accompanied by a strong ammonia smell.

!

Droppings on Roof or Deck

Possum droppings are olive-shaped, about 2cm long, and dark brown. You may find them on your roof, deck, or near entry points.

!

Chewed Garden Plants

Rose buds, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens being eaten or damaged overnight. Possums are herbivores that love flowers and fruit.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Had a brushtail possum living in our roof for months. The noise was driving us crazy. Pest Eraze trapped it humanely, sealed every gap, and installed a nesting box. Absolute silence ever since."

"We love possums but not in our ceiling! The Pest Eraze team was so respectful of the animal. They used a one-way door and the possum moved into the nesting box within days. No more ceiling stains."

"Third company we tried for possums — the first two couldn't find the entry point. Pest Eraze found it straight away, sealed it properly, and we haven't heard a peep since. Well worth it."

FAQ

Possum Removal FAQs

Possums are protected under the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975. You cannot harm, kill, or relocate them more than 50 metres from where they were caught. We hold the appropriate licences and follow all legal requirements for humane removal and release.
By law, possums must be released within 50 metres of where they were caught — they're territorial and can't be dumped in the bush. We install a nesting box on your property (usually on a tree or under eaves) so the possum has an alternative sheltered home.
Not through the entry points we seal. We use galvanised steel mesh and durable materials that possums can't chew through. Combined with a nesting box, the possum has a new home and no way back into your roof. Our work is backed by a written warranty.
Technically you can trap a possum with DELWP authority, but you must use specific cage traps, release it within 50m after sunset, and provide alternative shelter. It also involves working on your roof. Most people find it much easier and safer to hire a licensed professional.
The initial inspection and trap/door setup usually takes 1–2 hours. Trapping may take 1–3 nights depending on the possum. Once removed, we seal entry points the same day. Total complete process is typically done within a week.
