Possum Removal Glen Waverley 3150 | Licensed and Insured

Parkland reserves and heavy garden planting keep the area supplied, and established trees on the older blocks reach the rooflines.

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.

• Tiled roofs where a single lifted tile is the entry point.
• Large rebuilds with height that makes access the main cost.
• Cabling inspected, because chewed wiring is a fire risk.
• Droppings and staining assessed so you know what needs replacing.

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.
