Possum Removal in Brunswick: 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 Brunswick 3056 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 Brunswick 3056: what changes here
Brunswick is terraces and workers cottages sharing party walls, plus warehouse conversions. A shared wall means a shared problem: whatever is in the cavity is in your neighbour cavity too, and treating one dwelling while the source sits next door rarely holds.
Laneways, the rail corridor and a dense strip of food premises keep pressure on the whole area rather than on any one property.
- Party walls and shared cavities running the length of a terrace row.
- Laneway bin storage behind the strip, which feeds everything.
- Warehouse conversions with large open voids above the ceiling.
Straight answer on the call, no callback required.
Possum Removal Brunswick: 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.
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.
What a possum catcher may lawfully do
Where a possum has to be caught, the trap sits on your property and is checked as the law requires. A possum catcher or possum trapper works within those limits, and so does the possum man anyone else sends.
Noise identified before we quote
Heavy thumping after dark reads as brushtail. Lighter, faster movement in a wall can be rodents, and that is a different job at a different price.
A written record
Species, entry points, what was done and what still needs work. Useful for a landlord, an agent or an insurer.
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.

What we check on Brunswick housing
Laneways, the rail corridor and a dense strip of food premises keep pressure on the whole area rather than on any one property.
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.
- Party walls and shared cavities running the length of a terrace row.
- Laneway bin storage behind the strip, which feeds everything.
- Subfloor and undercroft checked on stumped or sloping blocks.
- Tiles, valley irons and fascia gaps inspected from outside.
Quoted before we travel, unchanged on the day.
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 Brunswick
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
We inspect the roof and the outside
The void, the roofline, the eaves and the trees that reach them. The entry point is usually visible from the ground once you know where to look.
Written report
What was found, what was done, and anything still open, so nothing is left as a verbal aside.
The lawful process, explained
Any catching, holding and release is done the way Victorian law requires, and we explain each step rather than asking you to take it on trust.
Seal the entry points
Tiles, valley irons, fascia gaps and vents, closed once we know the roof is empty.
Clean up what was left behind
Droppings, soiled insulation and the smell that comes with them, rather than leaving it for you.
