Why Choose Our Professional Possum Removal Service in South Yarra?

Hearing loud thumping, scratching, and hissing from your roof at night? Noticed unpleasant odours or stains appearing on your ceiling? You likely have a possum that has made its home in your roof void. While Common Brushtail and Ringtail possums are a natural part of our Melbourne environment, they can cause significant disruption and damage when they move into your property.

As possums are a protected native species, it is illegal to harm them or relocate them away from their territory. DIY removal is not only dangerous and ineffective but can also result in heavy fines. Swift Pest Control offers a professional and humane possum removal service in South Yarra that solves your problem while respecting the law and the animal. Here’s why a professional service is your only real option:

It’s a Legal Requirement: Only licensed operators can legally trap and handle possums in Victoria. We are fully licensed and adhere to all government regulations.
We Provide a Permanent Solution: The secret to possum control isn’t just removing the animal; it’s finding and blocking their entry points. Without professional proofing, another possum will simply move in.
Avoid Health & Safety Risks: Possums can bite and scratch if they feel cornered. They also leave behind urine and droppings that can pose a health risk. We handle this safely.
Prevent Property Damage: We stop possums from chewing electrical wires (a fire hazard), tearing up insulation, and damaging plasterboard, saving you from costly repairs.
Humane Animal Welfare: Our methods ensure the possum is not harmed and is released correctly back into its territory, as required by law.

How We Humanely and Legally Remove Possums in South Yarra

Our process is a proven, multi-step solution that guarantees results and complies with all Victorian wildlife laws.

Step 1: The Roof and Gutter Inspection: The most important first step. Our technician gets on the roof to meticulously inspect every tile, flashing, eave, and corner to find exactly how the possum is getting in. Common entry points are broken tiles, gaps where rooflines meet, and damaged vents.
Step 2: Strategic Trap Placement: We place a humane cage trap inside your roof void, along a known possum runway. The trap is baited with fresh fruit (like apples and bananas with a little honey) to entice the possum inside. The trap is designed to capture the animal safely without harming it.
Step 3: The Capture & Confirmation: We leave the trap set overnight. The following day, we return to check the trap. Once we have confirmed the possum is safely inside the cage, we proceed to the most critical step.
Step 4: Professional Possum Proofing: Before releasing the animal, we permanently seal every entry point we identified during the inspection. We use durable materials like timber, metal flashing, and strong wire mesh that possums cannot chew through or pull apart. A possum removal service without this proofing step is guaranteed to fail.
Step 5: Legal and Ethical Release: As required by the Wildlife Act 1975, the captured possum must be released on the same property, within 50 metres of the capture site. We do this at dusk, giving the animal the best chance to orient itself and find shelter in a nearby tree, where it belongs. It is illegal and cruel to relocate them, as they will likely not survive outside their established territory.

How Much Does it Cost to Remove a Possum in Melbourne?

This is a common question. The cost to get rid of a possum professionally reflects a complete program, not just a single call-out. The price for a possum removal program in South Yarra depends on:

The Complexity of the Proofing: The main cost factor is the amount of work required to seal the entry points. A simple fix on a single-storey home will cost less than complex proofing on a multi-level or heritage property with numerous access points.
Property Accessibility: Ease of access to the roof and entry points can influence the time and labour required.

Regarding “how to get rid of possums for free,” please be aware that councils do not offer a free removal service for private properties. Any “free” DIY method is likely to be ineffective and potentially illegal. Investing in a professional service is the only way to guarantee a permanent, legal solution.

Professional Possum Removal vs. DIY

Attempting to deal with a possum in your roof yourself is a bad idea for many reasons.

It’s Illegal: Trapping and handling native wildlife without a license can lead to significant fines. It is also illegal to harm a possum or release it more than 50m from the capture site.
It’s Ineffective: The core of the problem is the entry hole in your roof. If you trap a possum (illegally) and drive it miles away, another local possum will find that same hole and move in within days. You haven’t solved the problem.
It’s Dangerous: A cornered possum can inflict a nasty bite or scratch. Furthermore, working at heights on your roof without proper safety equipment is extremely dangerous.
It’s Cruel: Relocating a possum to a new area is effectively a death sentence. They are territorial and will likely be attacked by other possums or be unable to find food and shelter.

Choose Swift Pest Control for a Safe, Legal, and Effective Solution:

We Are Licensed: We operate completely within the law.
We Fix the Root Cause: Our professional proofing is the key to a permanent solution.
We Are Safe & Humane: We ensure the safety of your family and the welfare of the animal.

Faqs

How much does it cost to remove a possum from my roof?

The cost is for a full program which includes inspection, trapping, and—most importantly—proofing the entry points. The final price depends on the complexity of this proofing work. Call us for a free, accurate quote.

Can you take the possum far away?

No, it is illegal under the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975 to relocate a possum more than 50 metres from its capture site. Releasing it on the same property is the only legal and humane option.

How do I get rid of possums for free?

There is no effective or legal "free" method to remove a possum from your roof. The only solution is to pay a licensed professional to trap it and, crucially, seal the entry points to your property.

Will the released possum just get back in?

No. Because the final step of our process is to professionally seal all the entry points with durable materials before we release the possum, it will be unable to get back into your roof. It will then find a new home in a nearby tree.

What do you use to bait the trap?

We use a simple bait of fresh fruit, such as apple slices, banana, and a little honey, which possums find irresistible and is safe for them.
