Possum Removal in Mulgrave: how it works
The law shapes this job more than the animal does, so it is worth knowing what is actually allowed before anyone quotes you. Possums are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and under the Wildlife Regulations 2024 a possum caught at your property in Mulgrave 3170 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.

Possum Removal in Mulgrave 3170: what changes here
Mulgrave is postwar brick veneer next to a substantial business park. The residential access is straightforward, but the commercial buildings beside it change where the pressure comes from.
Industrial estates, warehousing and the reserves between them keep rodents moving, and the push towards buildings sharpens through autumn.
- A large business park sitting against residential streets.
- Warehousing with loading docks that stay open all day.
- Reserves between the estates acting as a route.
Quoted before we travel, unchanged on the day.
Possum Removal Mulgrave: 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.
Return visit to confirm
Coming back to check the sealing has held and nothing has found a way around it, rather than assuming.
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.
Working out the species
Brushtail and ringtail behave differently and the law treats them differently, so the species decides what may lawfully be done.
Insulation advice
Soiled batts hold odour and attract insects. We tell you which sections are worth replacing rather than leaving it to become a smell later.
Damage assessed honestly
Torn insulation, soiled ceiling plaster and chewed cabling all get written down, including when something needs replacing rather than cleaning.
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.
Book it in and we will work to your timing.
What we check on Mulgrave housing
Industrial estates, warehousing and the reserves between them keep rodents moving, and the push towards buildings sharpens through autumn.
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.
- A large business park sitting against residential streets.
- Warehousing with loading docks that stay open all day.
- Tiles, valley irons and fascia gaps inspected from outside.
- Insulation checked for soiling and damage.
One call, one price, seven days a week.
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 Mulgrave
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
Tell you what is not worth doing
Including the deterrents and devices people are often sold, which rarely survive contact with an actual possum.
Fixed price before we travel
Quoted on the roof, the access and the proofing needed, unchanged on the day.
Come back and check
A return visit to confirm the sealing has held through a few nights.
Deal with the route in
Overhanging branches and fence lines flagged, because they are how anything reaches the roof in the first place.
Written report
What was found, what was done, and anything still open, so nothing is left as a verbal aside.
Straight answer on the call, no callback required.
