Moorabbin has many established trees, older roofs and easy access points for possums. Once possums discover a warm roof void, they often return night after night. You hear loud thumps, running and scratching above ceilings, especially around dusk and before sunrise.
Living with possums in your roof leads to several problems:
Trying to fix this on your own is risky. In Victoria, trapping and relocating possums without a licence is illegal. Blocking entry holes while possums are inside can trap them and cause serious welfare issues, plus strong odours if they die in the roof. “Repellent” sprays and gadgets rarely work once possums are settled.

We keep the process simple and easy to follow.
Step 1 – Phone Consultation: When you call 0436389114, we ask a few short questions about what you hear, when it happens and where you think it comes from. This helps us prepare for your visit.
Step 2 – On-Site Inspection: A licensed wildlife technician visits your Moorabbin property. We inspect the roof exterior, eaves, possible entry points, and where safe, the roof void inside. We look for droppings, damage and signs of possum routes.
Step 3 – Plan & Explain: We identify the main entry point and any other gaps. We explain where the one-way door will go, how it works and when we expect possums to leave. You know what we are doing and why before we start.
Step 4 – Install One-Way Door: We fit a possum one-way door over the main entry. This device lets possums exit normally at night but stops them from pushing their way back in. It is a physical barrier, not a chemical or poison.
Step 5 – Monitoring Period: Over the next few nights, possums leave the roof space through the door. Noise in the roof usually drops during this time. If you still hear heavy noise later in the process, you can tell us when we check back.
Step 6 – Final Check & Sealing: Once we are confident possums are gone, we return, remove the door and seal the main entry plus all other gaps we identified. We use strong, long-lasting materials that are hard for possums to disturb.
Step 7 – Advice & Next Steps: We walk you through what we have done and give simple tips, such as trimming overhanging branches or fixing damaged areas sooner, so possums are less likely to try again. If there are dead animals or heavy contamination, we can also help via same-day dead animal removal or recommend cleaning options.
Our service is flexible enough to handle different property types and possum situations.
Brushtail Possum Removal: Brushtail possums are the species most often found in roofs in Moorabbin. We remove them using one-way doors and then possum-proof your home so they cannot get back in.
Ringtail Possum Management: Ringtail possums often nest in foliage but can use roofs if they find easy access. We adjust our approach for their habits and may suggest small garden or tree changes that make roof entry less appealing.
Emergency Night-Noise Jobs: If the noise is extreme or you are very distressed, our same-day pest control team can treat your case as urgent, inspecting and installing doors as quickly as possible.
Mixed Wildlife & Pest Jobs: If inspection shows both possums and rodents, we plan the work in a way that treats each correctly. Possums are handled via wildlife rules, while rats and mice are managed under our rodent control service.
Dead Possum in Roof: If a possum has died in your roof and you notice strong odours, we can combine possum-proofing with same-day dead animal removal to remove the body and provide basic sanitising.
Licensed Wildlife Technicians: Every possum job is led by a licensed wildlife controller who understands Victorian laws and welfare expectations. You are never left with guesswork or illegal methods.
Lawful Methods Only: We do not use illegal traps, poisons or unapproved relocation. Our focus is on exclusion using one-way doors and structural repairs that comply with the Wildlife Act.
Humane Handling: We design the process to keep stress as low as possible for possums. They leave through the door as part of their normal nightly behaviour and then find other nesting places in the local environment.
Respect for Your Home: We keep you informed, protect your property while we work, and leave the site tidy. We know having trades in your home is personal, so we act professionally and respectfully.
Here’s a quick comparison to show why professional possum removal is the safer choice in Moorabbin.
