What Impacts the Price of Possum Removal Service?
Larger properties with multiple potential entry points or complex roof structures may require more time and resources to inspect and treat thoroughly. Multi-story buildings or properties with extensive roof cavities typically involve more comprehensive work.
The number of possums present and how long they’ve been inhabiting your property affects the scope of work required. Multiple possums or those that have established long-term nests typically require more extensive removal and clean-up efforts.
Hard-to-reach areas such as steep roofs, tight crawl spaces, or areas requiring specialised equipment for safe access will affect the service cost. Properties with limited access may require additional time and safety measures.
The amount of damage possums have caused to your property affects the overall service cost. Extensive damage to insulation, wiring, roof structures, or contamination requiring thorough cleaning and sanitisation will increase the project scope.
The level of possum-proofing required affects the overall cost. This includes sealing entry points, installing barriers, mesh protection, and other preventative measures to ensure possums don’t return to your property.
Emergency or after-hours services may incur additional costs. Same-day or urgent service requests typically have different pricing compared to standard scheduled appointments due to the need to rearrange existing schedules.
Optional services such as possum box installation, damage repair, insulation replacement, or ongoing maintenance plans will affect the total cost. These additional services provide more comprehensive solutions but add to the overall investment.

How to Prevent Possum Infestations – Expert Tips & Solutions?
Property Maintenance Tips
Trim Overhanging Branches
Keep tree branches at least 2-3 metres away from your roof to prevent possums from using them as bridges to access your home.
Seal Entry Points
Regularly inspect and seal gaps in eaves, roofing, and walls. Pay special attention to areas where pipes or cables enter your home.
Clean Gutters Regularly
Remove leaves and debris from gutters to prevent nesting materials buildup and reduce attractive sheltering spots.
Install Motion-Sensor Lighting
Bright lights can deter possums from frequenting certain areas of your property during their active nighttime hours.
Garden and Food Management
Choose Possum-Resistant Plants
Plant species that possums find less appealing, such as native grasses, tea trees, bottlebrushes, and paper barks.
Secure Rubbish Bins
Use bins with tight-fitting lids to prevent possums from accessing food waste, which can attract them to your property.
Protect Valuable Plants
Use possum-proof netting or cages around vegetable gardens and prized plants to prevent feeding damage.
Install Possum Boxes
Provide alternative housing away from your home by installing possum boxes in appropriate trees on your property.
Professional Prevention Solutions
For the most effective long-term possum prevention, consider these professional solutions:
Roof and Ceiling Sealing
Professional-grade sealing of all potential entry points with durable materials that possums cannot chew through.
Possum-Proof Barriers
Installation of specialised barriers on downpipes, walls, and other climbing routes to prevent possum access.
Maintenance Programs
Regular professional inspections and maintenance to ensure your property remains possum-free year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No, it’s not legal for untrained individuals to trap or relocate possums in Victoria. Possums are protected native animals under the Wildlife Act 1975, and only licensed wildlife controllers can legally remove them. DIY removal can result in fines and may harm the animals. Our technicians are fully licensed and follow all legal requirements for humane possum management.
We offer same-day service for urgent possum problems throughout Altona and surrounding areas. For emergency situations, we prioritise rapid response and can often be at your property within hours. Standard appointments are typically available within 1-2 business days. We understand that possum issues can be disruptive and stressful, so we make quick response a priority.
By law, possums must be released within 50 metres of where they were captured, as they are territorial animals. We follow all Victorian wildlife regulations regarding humane handling and relocation. When appropriate, we install possum boxes to provide alternative habitats away from your home. Our goal is always to balance effective possum management with ethical treatment of these protected native animals.
We implement comprehensive possum-proofing measures, including sealing all entry points with durable materials, installing barriers on access routes, and addressing attractants on your property. We also offer possum box installation to provide alternative habitats away from your home. Our prevention strategies are tailored to your specific property and situation, with follow-up inspections to ensure continued effectiveness.
Yes, all our possum removal methods are family and pet-friendly. We use humane trapping techniques and avoid harmful chemicals or poisons. Our technicians are trained to work safely around children and pets, and we’ll advise you on any precautions to take during the service. We prioritise both effective possum control and the safety of your household throughout the process.
Possums and rats create different signs of infestation. Possums are larger and typically make louder thumping or heavy walking sounds, primarily at night when they’re active. Their droppings are larger (about 2cm long) and cylindrical. Rats make lighter, scurrying sounds and have smaller droppings (about 1cm). Possums also tend to follow regular patterns of activity, leaving and returning to your roof at similar times. Our inspection can definitively identify which pest you’re dealing with.
Yes, we offer comprehensive possum damage repair services. This includes fixing damaged insulation, repairing chewed wiring (in coordination with licensed electricians when necessary), restoring damaged roof tiles or fascia boards, and cleaning/sanitising areas contaminated by possum urine and droppings. We provide detailed assessments of damage and transparent quotes for all repair work needed to restore your property.
We stand behind our work with follow-up support. If possums return to the same areas after our complete possum-proofing service, we’ll return to reassess and address any new entry points or issues at no additional cost (within the terms of our service agreement). Our goal is your complete satisfaction and a possum-free property, so we’re committed to resolving any persistent problems.
