Possum Removal in Ringwood: how it works
Almost every possum call starts with the same description: something heavy moving across the ceiling after dark, always around the same time. Possums are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and under the Wildlife Regulations 2024 a possum caught at your property in Ringwood 3134 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 Ringwood 3134: what changes here
Ringwood is brick veneer and newer apartments around a busy centre. The apartments bring shared risers and bin rooms into the picture, while the surrounding housing is straightforward roof and subfloor work.
Mullum Mullum Creek and the bushland reserves around the suburb feed it continuously, and the blocks backing onto reserve feel it first.

- Mullum Mullum Creek and bushland reserves nearby.
- Brick veneer housing with predictable roof access.

Possum Removal Ringwood: 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.
A written record
Species, entry points, what was done and what still needs work. Useful for a landlord, an agent or an insurer.
Possum proofing where a route is obvious
Possum spikes on a ledge or beam that is clearly being used as a road, rather than scattered around the roofline for show.
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.
Entry points sealed properly
Lifted tiles, broken valley irons, gaps at the fascia and barge boards, and the branch that runs to your gutter.
The route in, not just the hole
Branches, fence lines, pergolas and downpipes all get flagged, because closing the hole while leaving the road means a new hole.
Ask us what the job actually involves.
What we check on Ringwood housing
Mullum Mullum Creek and the bushland reserves around the suburb feed it continuously, and the blocks backing onto reserve feel it first.
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.
- Newer apartments with shared risers and bin rooms.
- Mullum Mullum Creek and bushland reserves nearby.
- Droppings and staining assessed so you know what needs replacing.
- Subfloor and undercroft checked on stumped or sloping blocks.
Straight answer on the call, no callback required.
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.
Quoted before we travel, unchanged on the day.
From your call to a finished job in Ringwood
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.
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.
Tell you what is not worth doing
Including the deterrents and devices people are often sold, which rarely survive contact with an actual possum.
Come back and check
A return visit to confirm the sealing has held through a few nights.
Written report
What was found, what was done, and anything still open, so nothing is left as a verbal aside.
