Don't Risk It
Why Possum Intrusions Are More Dangerous Than You Think
The real risks of a possum intrusion
They damage your home and property
Possums can tear insulation, chew wiring, and damage timber while creating nesting areas in your roof or walls. Over time, this can lead to expensive repairs.
They create health and hygiene issues
Droppings, urine, and nesting materials can build up in roof spaces, leading to unpleasant odors and potential health risks for your household.
They cause constant noise and disturbance
Possums are nocturnal, meaning scratching, thumping, and movement in the roof can disrupt your sleep and daily comfort.
They attract other pests
Left unchecked, possum activity can create entry points and conditions that attract insects, rodents, and other unwanted pests.
Why Pest Solution Melbourne is the safe choice
Full PPE protection on every job
Our licensed technicians wear professional protective equipment on every job. No shortcuts, no exceptions.
Safe, humane possum removal — done right the first time
We don’t just remove the possum. We use proven, compliant methods to safely relocate it, secure entry points, and prevent it from returning.
Roofs, walls, eaves & entry points — we handle them all
Possums often hide in hard-to-reach areas. We locate access points, remove the animal, and seal up problem areas other providers may miss.
Prevention-focused solutions for long-term results
We don’t just fix the immediate issue — we help ensure your home stays possum-free with proper proofing and advice.
Common Possums We Remove in Melbourne
Identifying the species is essential — behaviour, entry points, and relocation methods differ between types. Our licensed technicians identify the possum on arrival and apply the correct legal removal approach.
Most Common
Common Brushtail Possum
The most frequently encountered possum in Melbourne homes. Large and bold, they take up residence in roof cavities, wall spaces, and chimneys. Their urine and droppings cause serious damage to insulation and ceilings, and their nightly activity causes loud thumping and scratching sounds.
Common
Common Ringtail Possum
Smaller than brushtails, ringtail possums build dreys (nests) in dense shrubs, roof eaves, and wall cavities. They are quieter but can still cause damage to garden plants and roof structures, and often go undetected for longer periods.
Less Common
Eastern Pygmy Possum
A much smaller species occasionally found in Melbourne's outer suburbs and garden areas. While less destructive than larger species, they can still enter roof spaces through tiny gaps and disturb insulation. Rarely encountered but require the same licensed handling under Victorian wildlife law.
Warning Signs
Signs You Have a Possum Problem on Your Property
Early detection is critical — small issues are much easier and cheaper to resolve. Don’t ignore these common warning signs.
Loud noises in the roof at night
Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds in your ceiling or walls—especially after dark—are one of the clearest signs of possum activity.
Strong, unpleasant odors in roof spaces
A lingering smell can come from possum droppings, urine, or nesting materials building up over time.
Visible droppings around your home
Possum droppings are often found in roof spaces, ceilings, or around entry points and can indicate an active presence.
Damage to roof, insulation, or wiring
Possums can tear insulation, chew wood, and damage electrical wiring while creating nests or moving through your roof.
Entry points or gaps in your roofline
Broken tiles, loose vents, or gaps in eaves are common access points possums use to enter and exit your home.
Sightings of possums around your property at night
Regularly seeing possums on your roof, fence, or in your yard—especially at night—usually means they’ve made themselves at home nearby.
Professional Possum Removal & Control Services
We handle every possum scenario — from a single possum in your roof to repeated entry and proofing for entire properties.
Residential Possum Removal
Safe, legal, and humane possum removal for Melbourne homes. Our licensed technicians locate the possum, set approved traps, and relocate the animal within the legal 50-metre radius in accordance with Victorian wildlife law.
Commercial & Body Corporate
Possums in commercial buildings, apartment complexes, and strata properties require coordinated access and discreet handling. We provide fast, fully documented possum removal services with minimal disruption to occupants.
Roof & Cavity Proofing
Removal alone isn't enough — possums will return if entry points remain open. We identify and seal all access points including roof tiles, eave gaps, and vents using durable materials to permanently prevent re-entry.
Possum Inspection & Assessment
Hearing noises but not sure if it's a possum? Our technicians perform a thorough roof and cavity inspection, confirm the species, identify all entry points, and provide a clear removal and proofing plan.
Possum Deterrent & Prevention
We install possum deterrents including tree guards, nesting box alternatives, and garden deterrents to discourage possums from returning to your property after removal.
Schools & Childcare Centres
Possums in school roofs and childcare facilities need safe, child-friendly handling. We use fully humane, chemical-free removal methods and work around your schedule to minimise disruption.
The Safe, Legal Choice for Possum Removal
Pest Solution Melbourne has been removing possums from homes and businesses across Melbourne for over 10 years. We've handled everything from a single brushtail in a roof cavity to repeat infestations across entire strata complexes. Possums are protected under Victorian law — we make sure every job is done legally, humanely, and permanently.
Our licensed technicians arrive fully equipped for safe, professional possum handling on every visit — protecting your family, your pets, and the animal.

What Melbourne Residents Say
Had a possum living in our roof cavity for weeks — thumping around every night keeping the whole family awake. Pest Solution Melbourne came the same day, set a trap, and had it removed and relocated within 24 hours. They also sealed the entry point so it can't come back. Brilliant service.
GoogleWe had possum urine soaking through our ceiling — the smell was unbearable and there was visible staining. Pest Solution Melbourne removed the possum humanely, sealed all the gaps, and gave us advice on cleaning and restoration. Couldn't be happier with how professional they were.
