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.

  • 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.
