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. They crash through roof tiles, chew timber beams, and urinate across insulation, leaving behind dark stains and unpleasant odours. These pests cause screeching noises and are aggressive in nature. 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. They are known for stripping garden shrubs, leaves from plants, and chewing into roofing timbers if left undisturbed. Their constant presence attracts pests like mosquitoes, flies, rodents, bees, etc. Get possum proofing from Zap It and stop them from infiltrating.

Sugar Glider Possum Extermination

These species are smaller in size and can enter your space through the surrounding bushes. They are nocturnal and move between trees and roofs without making much disturbance, loud enough to get detected. Sugar gliders gnaw through softwoods and insulation to nest with their group and cause serious damage to properties. Get rid of them with our safe possum-proofing services.

Pygmy Possum Management

Pygmy possums are mouse-sized marsupials that can crawl into vents, roof voids, wall cavities or cracks near windowsills or wall linings. They are not destructive on a large scale, but attract dangerous pests like ants, termites, etc. Zap It licensed possum control services in Melbourne ensure safe and humane possum relocation to their native areas. Resulting in a risk-free space.

Striped Possum Eradication

They are rarely found across Melbourne but sometimes appear in homes or hospitals. Striped possums can infest garages, sheds, or elevated homes near dense bushes.
