Three Jobs, Done Properly
Every job starts with identifying the cause — not assuming every roof noise is the same animal. Choose the closest match, or call and describe what you have heard.
01Possum Removal Melbourne
Heavy thumping overhead after dark usually means a brushtail has claimed your roof. We identify the species and the active entry point, then fit a one-way door so the animal leaves on its own — no trapping, no relocation.
- Roof cavity, eaves and perimeter inspection
- Species confirmed before any work starts
- One-way exit fitted to the active opening
- Return visit to remove the device and seal
Possum Proofing Melbourne
Removal without proofing just leaves the door open. We map every opening — active and secondary — and seal them with materials matched to your roof, then back the work with a 36-month written guarantee.
- Every opening mapped, not just the obvious one
- Mesh, tile clips, custom metal or timber repair
- Fixings that survive weather and possum pressure
- Photo record of each treated point
03Dead Possum Removal
A sudden heavy odour and flies at one window usually means a carcass in a roof or wall void. We locate it by odour concentration and access points, remove it where safely reachable and treat the affected area.
- Odour and fly-activity source assessment
- Safe removal from accessible voids
- Affected area treated and deodorised
- Entry points identified so it does not repeat
Built Around The Roof, Not Just The Animal
Possums are protected native wildlife and the work is as much roofing as it is wildlife handling. That is the whole job for us — nothing else.
What Good Proofing Looks Like
Not all sealing work is equal. These details decide whether a possum gets back in.
Done Properly
- Every opening mapped first — active and secondary
- Animal confirmed out before anything is closed
- Materials matched to tile, tin, timber or render
- Fixings that survive weather and possum pressure
- Photo record of each treated point
Warning Signs Of A Poor Job
- Foam or mesh stuffed in without fixing
- Only the obvious hole closed
- Work done before confirming the roof is empty
- No written scope and no documentation
- No guarantee offered on the sealed points

Guarantee And Price, Both In Writing
36-month written guarantee: if a possum re-enters through an opening we sealed within the 36-month period, we return and repair that treated point at no labour charge.
5% price-beat promise: bring us a written, like-for-like quote from any licensed Melbourne possum controller and we will beat it by 5%.
The guarantee covers the entry points documented as treated by us — not unrelated new damage or a new route elsewhere on the building. Full scope, access requirements and exclusions are stated in the written quote. Price beat applies to comparable scope, verified before booking.
Common Questions
How much does possum proofing cost?
Proofing is quoted with the removal work: from $350 for a single entry point, $350-$550 for a standard home and $550-$850 for complex roofs. Treated points carry a 36-month written guarantee.
What materials do you use?
It depends on the roof – fit-for-purpose mesh, tile clips, custom-cut metal, timber repairs or sealants. The material is matched to the opening and the roofing type, never applied as a one-size-fits-all patch.
Can I just block the hole myself?
It is risky. Sealing an active opening can trap the possum, or dependent young, inside – which is inhumane, unlawful, and usually ends with more damage as the animal forces its way out.
Does proofing damage my roof?
No. The work is shaped around the existing roofing and fixed so it holds up to weather and possum pressure. Every treated point is photographed before and after.
Will proofing stop rats too?
Possum proofing closes larger openings; rodents exploit much smaller ones. We will flag rodent-sized gaps we notice and can advise on a separate rodent-proofing scope.
