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
02Possum 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.
Keeping Them Off The Roof
Removal solves today. These habits make your roof a much harder target afterwards.
Around The Building
- Trim branches back 1.5-2m from the roofline
- Fit smooth collars to pipes used for climbing
- Replace broken or lifted tiles promptly
- Repair damaged eaves, soffits and fascia gaps
- Cap or mesh open chimneys and roof vents
Reduce The Attraction
- Pick up fallen fruit and secure compost bins
- Never hand-feed possums — it anchors them to the property
- Bring pet food and bowls in overnight
- Keep bin lids closed and rubbish bagged
- Consider a nest box as an alternative shelter

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 removal cost?
From $350 for a single entry point, $350-$550 for a standard Melbourne home and $550-$850 for complex roofs. Clear written quote before work starts, plus our 5% price-beat promise.
How long does the whole process take?
Most homes need two visits: inspection and one-way door installation, then a return visit to remove the device and seal the opening once the possum has left. That is usually spread over one to two weeks.
Will the possum come back?
Not through an opening we have sealed – that work carries a 36-month written guarantee. Possums are territorial, so the aim is to make your roof unavailable while the animal keeps its outdoor territory.
Is trapping ever used?
Only where a one-way door is not workable, and always under Victorian rules: same property, within 50 metres, released after sunset the same day. Exclusion is almost always the better outcome.
Do you handle possums in walls and subfloors?
Yes. Wall cavities and subfloors are assessed the same way – we find the access route first, then plan the exit and sealing around the building’s structure.
Where We Work
