Possum traps

There are many companies around claiming to be possum removal professionals. The solution they offer for removing the possum from your roof is to trap them and then block the hole up.

Sounds good in theory but

you are charged for setting the trap and for each visit to clear the trap. Can be very expensive if there is more than one possum in your roof.

when using a trap the company must be licensed with the national parks and wildlife

traps scare possums and they may stay in the roof and not go in the trap for a couple of days, costing you more because of the extra trips to check the trap.

We have a process that will efficiently ensure the possums are out of your roof and the hole is blocked permanently!

Possums in your roof

Possum has set up her home inside the roof

If you have a problem with possums thundering around in your roof, keeping you awake at night, then there are some things you need to know.

Possums come and go. They leave your roof sometime after dark and return in the morning just before dawn.
During the day they just sleep. You may hear some movement where they sleep but usually you don’t hear them during the day.
They are very territorial and therefore they will defend their territory from other possums who may wander in.
They prefer to be in your roof than in a box in the tree, but if the only option left for them, then a possum box looks pretty good

What to do when you hear noises in your roof?

The FIRST thing you must do is to ensure that it’s a possum and not a RAT. IF you suspect you have possums and are sure you have rats. DON’T just throw out rat bait in the ceiling and think it will be alright. ALWAYS make 100% certain that there’s no possum in your roof space before you throw out any rat bait. Possums will eat it and it will kill them. It’s a terrible death too.

When you are sure it’s possums

What you can do is to find the entry hole and block it up, AFTER the POSSUM are OUT!
