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 possum. Our possum removal is humane, making sure they won’t come back again.

How we remove possums

  • Our techs start by locating its entry point in your roof
  • A cage trap is placed over the entry point.
  • We wait 24 hours to make sure we get all possums from the roof, and don’t accidentally seal any in there.
  • Once the animal is trapped, we place it in a dark, quiet place while we ‘possum proof’ the area.
  • Area proofing involves sealing up the roof’s entry point and splashing disinfectant or similar on the area to mask the animal’s scent from itself. If the gap in the roof is more serious damage, a roofer will need to fix this.
  • We release the possum, usually on dusk. By law it has to be released within 150 metres of where it was captured, but your sealed-up roof will stop it from returning and persuade it to find a new home.

Signs you have possums on your property

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

Here are the common signs that you have these pests 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. Not only will it damage the siding but the gutters, soffits and shingles etc.
  • These pests are quite noisy, and you can easily hear them when they are moving around. Whenever they are nesting, you will hear scratching and repairing 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 have more than one possum on your property
  • You will begin to smell faeces 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.

Professional possum pest control team

If you have noticed any of these signs call us without delay for reliable possum control in Sydney. We are very prompt with our services and will send one of our pest control experts your way.

These are territorial creatures, so even after they have been removed from a particular place, they tend to return to that spot. This is why it takes professionals to get rid of the problem:

  • We will first trap the creature, check for nests and babies and then release them in a habitable and comfortable area in the vicinity.
  • Blocking access to all the areas of your premises is the next step. We seal gaps, install nets and block all the vulnerable points, and this helps prevent future infestations.
  • All the work will be carried out in line with government guidelines.
