Possum Removal
Possum Removal in Sydney
Possums love to set up camp in residential ceilings, chimneys, and building eaves, which can cause significant structural damage and loud nightly disruptions. If they take up residence inside your roof, their droppings and urine can quickly stain ceiling plaster and create unpleasant odors. While they are frequently spotted in sheds, trees, and yard corners, a roof cavity provides them with the ultimate shelter, at the expense of your peace of mind.

Possums are quite silent animals. You're much more apt to notice one before you hear any sounds coming from it. When frightened, they screech and produce low rumbling noise, similar to that of a kitten. Some people claim to have heard possums quietly humming to their young, but I've rarely had that experience.
In general, the answer is no. However, there are some exceptions. No two animals are alike, just as no two people are the same. Some individuals have kept possums as pets and have thoroughly appreciated their presence. The best pets are usually those that were adopted when they were quite juvenile. Possums should not, however, be kept as pets.

Under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, native possums are strictly protected. It is highly illegal to harm them, or to trap them and drive them away to a distant bushland or park. Because possums are fiercely territorial, relocating them outside their home range is usually a death sentence. By law, they must be released on the same property within 150 metres of the capture point, at dusk, against a tree or structure they can climb.
True "possum removal" is actually about exclusion—safely eviction-proofing your home so they stay in the garden and out of your ceiling.
We don't just trap and dump wildlife—which is illegal and harmful to the ecosystem. Instead, we implement a permanent, legally compliant strategy:
Humane Trapping: We set specialized, wildlife-safe cage traps with appropriate food supplies to ensure the possum remains safe and unstressed.
Lawful On-Site Release: In strict accordance with NSW regulations, we release the trapped possum at dusk on your property, within 150 metres of where it was caught, right next to a tree or structure it can safely climb.
Professional Roof Proofing: Because the possum must legally remain in the neighborhood, the secret to success is keeping them out of your house. We inspect your roof, identify all structural entry points, and permanently seal them once the intruder is safely outside.
24/7 Local Expertise: Our dedicated team of Sydney professionals is at your service around the clock for inspections, legal trapping, and long-term proofing.
