Expert Possum Control Services Across Melbourne

Possums are a common pest problem for Melbournians. They live in natural habitats and are very aggressive when it comes to protecting their nesting sites. They are excellent climbers and easily invade walls, roof cavities, and crawl spaces. They climb down in search of food and find a way to enter houses and can damage your property, garden and crops.

These species may look cute, but they are unhygienic and noisy. A dead possum will spread an awful smell in your home. You need our licensed by the DHHS Possum control services in Melbourne to protect yourself against possum damage.

Signs Of Possum Infestations To Act Immediately

Recognising signs of possum activity around your home or distribution centre early can save you from severe damage. You can point out the presence of these nocturnal pests by examining the roof. If the tiles are displaced, the electrical wiring and insulation inside the roof spaces are damaged.

Then, it’s a clear indication of the possum infestations that need immediate possum management. They also produce thumping, scratching, or dragging noises above the ceiling, which is more deliberate and heavier than rodents. Unpleasant urine odour, ceiling stains, leaves or tree branches in roof cavities are a clear call for possum treatment.

Common Possum Species - Zap It Remove & Relocate

Brushtail Possum Control

Brushtail possums are the most destructive nocturnal pests that attack the roofs of cottages and aged care facilities during the night.

Protect your property with our environmentally friendly possum prevention services.

Ringtail Possum Removal

Ringtail possums build large leafy nests in trees, wall cavities, and under eaves, often bringing their family to increase population.
