Expert Possum Removal in Melbourne

Protect Your Property from Destructive Possums

Though possums may look cute and harmless, they can cause significant property damage and health hazards. They rummage through garbage for food and often make their nests in roof spaces, leaving behind droppings, urine stains, and damaged surroundings. Once they find a comfortable home, they tend to attract other possums, leading to a bigger infestation.

How to Prevent Possum Infestations

To keep possums from nesting in your roof and other spaces, follow these tips:

  • Secure outdoor garbage bins to block possums from scavenging for food.
  • Trim tree branches and overhanging plants to reduce easy access to your roof.

Dead Possum Removal

The first sign of a dead possum is usually an unpleasant odor. If left unremoved, decomposing possums can attract more pests and spread disease. Our team uses eco-friendly deodorizers and removes dead possums to eliminate odors and prevent further infestation.

How Long Do Odors Last?

The smell of a deceased possum in the roof can last for six to eight weeks, especially during warmer months. For rats, odors can persist for up to four weeks.

Why Are Possums Noisy in Wall Cavities?

Possums prefer wall cavities over roof spaces due to warmth and darkness. However, they can cause damage by chewing electrical wires or contaminating insulation, which may need replacement due to frequent urination.

How Long Does Possum Removal Take?

The duration of possum removal depends on the number of possums and how long they’ve inhabited your roof. Typically, complete removal and prevention take three to seven days, depending on the level of infestation.

Common Possum Hiding Spots

Possums seek hidden, secure areas for nesting. Some common hideouts include:

  • Roof cavities
  • Backyards
  • Under decks
  • Garages
