Possum Removal in Frankston: how it works
Possum work is a building job with an animal in the middle of it, which is not how most people expect it to go. Possums are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and under the Wildlife Regulations 2024 a possum caught at your property in Frankston 3199 must be released within 50 metres of where it was caught, on the same property, after dark. No operator may lawfully move it off your property. So catching on its own achieves very little: the same animal is outside your house that night looking for the way back in. Sealing the building is the fix, and nothing is closed until we have checked for dependent young inside. Call 0436 389 114, seven days.
Book it in and we will work to your timing.
Possum Removal in Frankston 3199: what changes here
Frankston covers everything from beach cottages to postwar brick veneer, so the right approach changes street by street. A cottage on stumps and a brick veneer on a slab are different jobs with the same pest.
The bay is on one side and bushland on the other, which gives the suburb pressure from two directions and a longer active season than suburbs further in.
- Housing that varies from beach cottage to brick veneer.
- Bay on one side, bushland reserves on the other.
- A longer active season than the inner suburbs.
Straight answer on the call, no callback required.
Possum Removal Frankston: what the job covers
A possum job is really a building job. Everything below is aimed at getting the roof empty and keeping it that way.
Damage assessed honestly
Torn insulation, soiled ceiling plaster and chewed cabling all get written down, including when something needs replacing rather than cleaning.
A written record
Species, entry points, what was done and what still needs work. Useful for a landlord, an agent or an insurer.
Subfloor and undercroft checked
On stumped or sloping blocks a possum under the floor is as common as one in the ceiling, and it is missed constantly.
Work planned around the animal
Sealing is timed for when the possum is out, which is after dark, rather than shutting it inside during the day.
Working out the species
Brushtail and ringtail behave differently and the law treats them differently, so the species decides what may lawfully be done.
Straight advice on what will not work
We will tell you when a deterrent, a light or a sound device is a waste of money, which is most of the time.
Ask us what the job actually involves.
What we check on Frankston housing
The bay is on one side and bushland on the other, which gives the suburb pressure from two directions and a longer active season than suburbs further in.
That is why two jobs in the same street can run differently. The pest is the same, the building is not, and the building decides how long it takes and what it costs.
- Housing that varies from beach cottage to brick veneer.
- Bay on one side, bushland reserves on the other.
- Cabling inspected, because chewed wiring is a fire risk.
- Branches and fence lines that reach the roof noted.
Get a fixed price before anyone travels.
Brushtail or ringtail
The species changes what is lawful and what works, so it gets settled first. Brushtails are cat sized with a bushy black tail and they are the ones thumping across a ceiling after dark.
Ringtails are smaller with a thin white tipped tail, and they usually build outside in dense foliage rather than living in a roof. Finding a ringtail in a roof is unusual and changes the approach.
- Brushtail: cat sized, bushy tail, heavy movement in the roof.
- Ringtail: smaller, white tipped tail, usually nesting outside.
- Both are protected, and the species decides what may lawfully be done.

From your call to a finished job in Frankston
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
Tell us what you hear, and when
Heavy movement across the ceiling after dark reads as brushtail. The hour matters as much as the sound.
Tell you what is not worth doing
Including the deterrents and devices people are often sold, which rarely survive contact with an actual possum.
Check for dependent young
Before anything is sealed. This is the step that separates a finished job from a dead animal in a wall.
Written report
What was found, what was done, and anything still open, so nothing is left as a verbal aside.
Deal with the route in
Overhanging branches and fence lines flagged, because they are how anything reaches the roof in the first place.
Book it in and we will work to your timing.
