Things to Consider Before Scheduling Possum Removal Service

Before arranging professional possum removal, consider these important factors to ensure the most effective and appropriate solution for your situation.

Legal Considerations

Protected Species Status

Possums are protected under Victorian wildlife laws. Only licensed professionals can legally remove and relocate them.

Relocation Restrictions

By law, possums must be released within 50 metres of their capture location or humanely euthanized by a wildlife officer.

Proper Licensing

Ensure your possum removal service has appropriate wildlife handling licenses and insurance coverage.

Property Considerations

Entry Point Identification

Before service, try to identify where possums might be entering your home to help technicians target these areas.

Tree Maintenance

Consider trimming tree branches that provide possums easy access to your roof before scheduling removal.

Repair Needs

Be prepared for potential repairs to damaged areas such as insulation, wiring, or roof materials after removal.

Service Considerations

Comprehensive Solutions

Choose a service that offers complete solutions including removal, prevention, and optional repairs rather than just trapping.

Follow-up Services

Ask about follow-up inspections to ensure possums haven’t returned and preventative measures remain effective.

Clear Communication

Ensure the service provider clearly explains their methods, timeline, and what to expect during and after the removal process.

Timing Considerations

Breeding Season

Be aware that female possums may have dependent young during breeding season (April to November), requiring special handling procedures.

Activity Patterns

Possums are primarily nocturnal, so removal services are often most effective when scheduled in the early evening or early morning.

Prompt Action

Address possum problems promptly before they cause extensive damage or establish long-term residence in your property.

How to Prevent Possum Infestations – Expert Tips & Solutions?

While possums are a protected species, there are several humane and effective ways to discourage them from making your property their home.

Property Maintenance

  • Trim Overhanging Branches

    Keep tree branches at least 2-3 metres away from your roof to limit possum access routes.

  • Repair Roof Damage

    Regularly inspect and repair damaged roof tiles, fascias, and eaves that could provide entry points.

  • Clean Gutters Regularly

    Remove leaves and debris from gutters that possums might use as nesting materials.

  • Seal Entry Points

    Use quality mesh guards to seal vents, chimneys, and other potential access points.

Deterrent Strategies

  • Install Possum Boxes

    Provide alternative habitats away from your home to encourage possums to stay out of your roof.

  • Choose Possum-Resistant Plants

    Plant species that possums find less appealing to discourage them from frequenting your garden.

  • Motion-Activated Lights

    Install motion-sensor lighting in areas frequented by possums to deter nighttime activity.

  • Natural Repellents

    Use possum-safe, natural deterrents like ultrasonic devices or specific essential oils.

Professional Prevention Services

For the most effective long-term possum prevention, consider our professional services:

Comprehensive Inspections

Professional assessment to identify all potential entry points and vulnerabilities.

Custom Proofing Solutions

Tailored possum-proofing measures designed specifically for your property’s unique features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Find answers to common questions about possum removal in Toorak and our professional services.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to trap or relocate possums in Victoria. Possums are protected native wildlife, and only licensed wildlife controllers can legally remove them. DIY removal can result in fines and may harm the animals. Additionally, Victorian regulations require possums to be released within 50 metres of their capture site, making professional management essential.

We offer same-day service for possum removal throughout Toorak. In emergency situations, we can often respond within hours of your call. Our team is available 7 days a week, including evenings when possums are most active. For non-emergency situations, we can typically schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours.

By law, possums must be released within 50 metres of their capture location. We follow all Victorian wildlife regulations regarding humane handling and relocation. As part of our service, we can install possum boxes in nearby trees to provide alternative shelter for the relocated possums, reducing the likelihood they’ll attempt to re-enter your home. We focus on exclusion methods to prevent re-entry while ensuring the possums have appropriate habitat nearby.

We implement a comprehensive approach to prevent possums from returning:

  • Thoroughly sealing all entry points with durable materials
  • Installing possum-proof mesh on vents and potential access points
  • Recommending tree trimming to reduce roof access
  • Installing possum boxes in appropriate locations away from your home
  • Applying deterrents in strategic locations

We stand behind our possum removal and prevention services. If possums re-enter your property through any of the entry points we’ve sealed, we’ll return to address the issue at no additional cost. Our comprehensive approach focuses on both removal and prevention, giving you confidence in a long-term solution. We also offer optional maintenance programs to ensure ongoing protection.

If we discover baby possums (joeys) during the removal process, we take special care to keep them with their mother. Female possums typically carry their young in a pouch or on their back, so when we remove the mother, the babies come with her. In cases where dependent young are found separately, we ensure they’re reunited with their mother during the relocation process. Our technicians are trained to handle these sensitive situations with appropriate care.

Possums can cause significant damage if left unaddressed:

  • Chewing through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
  • Damaging or soiling insulation, reducing energy efficiency
  • Breaking roof tiles or creating holes in roofing materials
  • Contaminating ceiling spaces with urine and feces
  • Damaging stored items in roof spaces

The longer possums remain, the more extensive the damage typically becomes, which is why prompt removal is recommended.

Yes, we offer comprehensive possum damage repair services. After removing possums, we can:

  • Replace or restore damaged insulation
  • Repair holes or damage to roofing materials
  • Clean and sanitize areas contaminated by possum waste
  • Inspect and report on electrical wiring that may need repair

Our technicians will assess the damage during the removal process and provide recommendations for necessary repairs.
