Trusted Possum Control Services for Melbourne Properties
There are around 13 species of large possums in Australia, and most of them are highly destructive in urban living areas. Without possum removal, like foxes, they can do a lot of damage in gardens and backyards. If they find a way inside, they will also invade roof spaces, garages, basements, and storage areas in your home or business premises.
And once they’re in, possum removal becomes very difficult. They’ll defend their territory and defy normal efforts to lure them out. So, if you have a problem that requires possum control solutions, it pays to call in the experts to trap and relocate them. You also need to book a possum control expert like Pestline to find and seal up the places where they’ve been getting in. Call 1300 361 646 now for a free quote.

FAQs on Possum Control Services
Possums are a protected native species in Victoria, so trapping and relocating them must be done under the correct permits and in line with regulations, which is why it’s best handled by a licensed pest controller.
The most common signs are scratching, thumping or scurrying noises overhead at night, along with droppings in the roof space and a distinctive musky smell if a possum has been there for a while.
Established possums are territorial and often defend their spot rather than move on, so noise or light alone rarely works long-term, a proper removal and entry-point sealing plan is usually needed.
Possums can chew through wiring and insulation, damage timber, and leave droppings and urine stains that create ongoing odour issues, so leaving them in place can lead to costly repairs over time.
A licensed technician will humanely trap the possum and relocate it in line with Victorian wildlife regulations, then help identify and seal the entry point it used to get in.
Roof cavities offer warmth, protection from predators and weather, and a quiet, undisturbed spot, making them just as appealing to a possum as a tree hollow, sometimes more so.
A dead possum should be removed and the area cleaned and deodorised promptly, since the smell can be strong and persistent, and it’s worth checking for any other possums or entry points at the same time.
Once a possum is removed, sealing gaps around the roofline, trimming overhanging branches, and fitting one-way exit devices on any remaining access points are the most effective ways to keep them out for good.
