Our Possum Removal Process

With more than 15 years of experience, 1800 Possums provides a clear, practical process for identifying roof activity, removing possums humanely and protecting your property against re-entry.
FREE phone consultation and quote
Our initial phone consultation will give you confidence in our ability to solve your unwanted visitor issues. We often establish the type of pest you are hearing in your roof and have resolved many issues with a phone call, preventing call out fees and unnecessary time or money spent.
Inspect property
During the initial visit, we inspect the building from top to bottom, including accessible roof, exterior and subfloor areas, to identify animal activity and potential entry points. If additional work is required, we will explain the issue and provide a quote before proceeding.
Remove possums
When we identify an active possum entry point, we install a specially designed one-way exit that allows the possum to leave but prevents it from returning through the same opening. This provides a humane way to move the possum out before the final entry point is sealed.
Treat and seal property
Entry points not used are sealed using sheet metal, wire mesh, timber or suitable materials suited to protect your building from possum re-entry. On our second visit entry points with one way doors attached are also sealed providing a possum proofed building.
Provide warranty
Our standard possum warranty covers the entire building against possum re-entry for two years. If possums return through our repairs or an entry point we missed, we will remove them and repair the entry point at no extra charge. If we cannot complete the removal successfully, a refund may be offered and our repairs removed in accordance with the warranty terms.

We had a great experience with 1800 POSSUMS! Matt and Sam were  friendly and really knew what they were doing. They inspected our property thoroughly, explained everything clearly, and did a great job proofing the house.

Libby Pearce

Would highly recommend 1800 Possums! We had a possum in our bathroom wall for years which we were fine with but then he tore through and moved into our ducted heating system so the time came for him to escorted out.

A successful removal without any harm to the possums who is loved but didn’t want in my roof. Quick and reactive service, very happy. Highly recommended!

Tony Cagney

Thankyou. Excellent serivce and communication from 1800POSSUMS in Melbourne. Matt solved our possum problem by installing a temporary one way trap door. This worked quickly just as Matt and Bryan said it would. No hesitation in recommending these guys. Thankyou.

Luke from 1800 Possums was absolutely outstanding! He successfully removed the possums from our roof, which stopped our light switches from constantly tripping.

Caroline Deakin

Fay Keane

Possums removed from my roof. Company very professional and a set price was very re-assuring.

Prakash Samuel

Sam showed up at the agreed time and was quick to find and sort out the primary possum entry point. He also checked out the roof to seal off the other gaps, which was a bonus! Followed up a week later to complete the removal.

Jarrod Wait

Came and fixed the problem while we were out, sent videos of the process. Quick and easy. We had other people out who hadn’t bothered dealing with the problem properly, but Luke did it so efficiently, I couldn’t recommend more highly.

3. WE AVOID TRAPS! Trapping possums is painful for everyone, a possum remains trapped overnight frantically banging its way around in the trap, keeping you awake trap trying to escape until morning or when someone returns to release the possum (Potentially days).
