Possum catcher Sydney

In New South Wales, possums are a protected species, and it's illegal to catch them without a licence. It’s also not ideal to relocate them in an unfamiliar area as they won’t survive. Our possum removal services in Sydney ensures that we rehouse them in a nearby area, away from your home.

Why are they considered as pests? Simply because possums can cause problems like biting electrical wirings, cause major garden destruction (will most likely eat any food you grow), damage roofs, and carries lots of bacteria and germs.

Sydney Pest Crew are licensed by the NPWS Wildlife team to catch and release possums in approved areas so that they can safely survive in their natural habitat.

Signs you have possums on your property

This task is never one you should try to tackle yourself, and you need to call in professionals for the job. Our expert possum removal team will carefully remove the possums from your residential or commercial premises without harming them.

Here are some of the common signs that you have possums on your premises:

  • A possum can move around quickly on various exterior areas of your property. It can walk on the roof and will also climb up the sides of the structure. Possums may also damage your gutters, roof tiles, chew electrical wires, damage insulation and more.
  • These pests are quite noisy, and you can easily hear them when they are moving around. Whenever they are nesting, you might hear scratching sounds as they start looking for material to build their home.
  • When the mothers are communicating with their young, they make very distinctive lip-smacking and clicking sounds. If you hear these noises, it means you might have more than one possum on your property
  • You will begin to smell feces and urine once these creatures have settled into your property. They have large droppings that they leave around in various areas. If you do not clean these up quickly, you will find that the smell permeates all areas of your home.

Possums present in the roof are typically caught within the first 24 hours and some might take up to two weeks pending their behaviour.

Awesome job from Eddy of Sydney Pest Crew. Super friendly and turned up right on time. Great value too, no hidden extras, fair price and top-notch service. If you want reliable pest control that actually cares, definitely give them a go.
Response from the owner:Thank you Gladys, we appreciate your positive review!
Used Sydney Pest control for the first time for a commercial building which I have been manager for 30 years and I can say there service and professionalism was second to none. The team was very knowledgeable, approachable and patient. No short cuts were taken and the outcome was perfect.
Response from the owner:Hi Richard, thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate the review and look forward to working together again. Thank you for your positive feedback.
I was a bit skeptical to use Sydney Pest crew because I never tried before, but after they came and get the work done I was so happy because of their service and how details they ensure the whole house internal and external fully covered. Highly recommend this company and I definitely will use them again! Great job SPC team
Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear you are happy with the services provided. Thank you for your review.
Great responsive service, even helped us out when we needed a targeted service inside while we still had some trades outside. Would absolutely use again.
Response from the owner:Hi Lauren, thank you for your positive feebdack.
Did a great job, clear communication and great outcome
Response from the owner:Thank you Sameer for your positive review.
There was a possum carcass on the roof out the front of our house which was probably there for at least 3 days before we located where the smell was coming from. We had it professionally removed, including sprayed after removal to manage the flies which started to colonise and produce lots of eggs and maggots which spread in the vicinity. The service cost $270 + card transaction fee of about $4.50 (not a credit card).

I was able to get in contact with the business easily, and schedule the removal early the next day and the receptionist provided good customer service.
The systems they have in place to communicate the arrival time was helpful and also included a tracking link closer to the technicians ETA.
The technician himself was friendly & professional, arriving on time and communicating well— happy with his service.

I would recommend the business and use them again if I needed.

(Edit: I appreciate the business’ sincere and professional response to my review so I’ve removed parts of my feedback that weren’t completely accurate or helpful after carefully reading the booking confirmation email.)
Response from the owner:Hi Esther, Thank you for your positive comments and feedback. Just regarding the negative feedback, i would just like to clarify for yourself and any future potential clients that may read your review that we definitely don't have any hidden fees. Unfortunately, with any card transaction, there is going to be a fee which doesn't go to us and we actually we pay further fees on the backend to allow clients to use cards as a payment method and more. As much as we would love to not have any card fees for anyone, unfortunately it isn't the case and the standard for many businesses. Nonetheless, we did provide other payment methods as options that do not incur fees which we relay prior to service and in writing. We also do indicate very clearly on all booking confirmations and sms that there are fees for card transactions and the % if you would like to have another read. It is not in our interest or policy to hide these fees from you, definitely not. We are very transparent with it all. The price of the actual service was also underquoted by office initially but we kept the same quoted cost that was sent to you as it was our error and no urgent call out fees were charged either, just for some clarity. Regarding the spray, the technician took it upon himself, with director approval when on site, to apply a pesticide in attempt to assist and settle any fly activity post removal of dead possum. We did not charge you for this either, it was waived. As you mentioned, he did state due to the open location of the section ontop of a roof that it may not last very long but can assist and worth a try especially at no cost to you. Regarding cleaning, unfortunately roof cleaning is outside our scope of works and this was relayed at time of booking that we can only remove a dead rodent or possum and make all attempts to remove what is possible. Given the location also and safety restrictions, technician did make a great effort to get to it and remove it considering, but did relay also during the service a roof clean is recommend to assist. I hope the above helps and provides more clarity. Nonetheless, thank you for the feedback and trusting in us and choosing to recommend us again in future, we look forward to servicing your property again. Please feel free to contact office if you wish to discuss further or require any additional assistance.
I had Joshua come out to my place and greet me very professionally. Also very kindly and made me feel like i definitely made the right choice by having pest crew come out to take care of the cockroaches and spiders that were making me me and my wife uncomfortable to go out into our backyard at night. He has done such an amazing job and we can now get back to living and enjoying our backyard with friends and family. Definitely recommend them to anyone out there that need pest control done in their home.
Response from the owner:Hi Alexandar thank you for your positive feedback. It is great to hear you are happy with the services provided. Thank you for your review.
