Did you know that there are over 23 different possums in Australia? These nocturnal marsupials can live for up to 11 years! They are nighttime critters that usually make nests around roofs, gardens, and ceilings. They are considered to be territorial and would often come back even after removal.
If possums start to build their homes on your property, you need to be careful with their removal as they are a protected species under the Wildlife Act 1975. We at Sydney Pest Crew are a leading company in the industry and provide responsible possum control services.

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.
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:
Possums are protected native wildlife under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act and related wildlife regulations. Permits/licensing are required to legally carry out possum trapping and relocation works, which Sydney Pest Crew holds. Any possum captured must be handled and released in accordance with NSW wildlife requirements.

Due to possums being highly territorial animals, relocating them outside their local territory is not permitted and can significantly reduce survival rates. (environment.nsw.gov.au)
IMPORTANT: Following possum removal, it is highly advised that the property owner engages a relevant contractor such as a roofer, handyman or builder to permanently seal all entry/access points to reduce the likelihood of recurring possum, rodent or other pest activity within the roof void.

We will inspect your entire property and roof void to find evidence of possums. If we suspect possums are in your roof, we will find any obvious entry points and recommend you seal them off. We will then install a possum cage with an attractant source to catch the possum and will return to the property when it is caught to release it safely. Possums present in the roof are typically caught within the first 24 hours and some might take up to two weeks pending their behaviour.
It is illegal to kill any possums. They must be caught and released.
