Possum Removal in Melbourne

Possum Removal Melbourne: Humane Solutions by Pest Patrol

Are nocturnal noises keeping you up at night? A possum might be the uninvited guest causing the chaos. These curious marsupials often find their way into urban homes, seeking warmth and shelter, but their presence can quickly turn from charming to challenging. At Pest Patrol, we specialize in humane possum removal in Melbourne, ensuring these protected creatures are safely relocated while keeping your property secure.

Why Choose Professional Possum Removal?

Possums are a common sight in Melbourne, often seeking shelter in roofs, under decks, or even in your backyard. While they are an essential part of our ecosystem, their presence can lead to property damage, noise disturbances, and unpleasant odors. Attempting to remove them yourself can be stressful and may breach wildlife protection laws. Pest Patrol’s expert team ensures safe, compliant, and effective possum relocation.

Our Proven Possum Removal Process

  1. Inspection and Assessment
    We begin with a thorough pre-purchase possum inspection or a detailed property survey to identify entry points and nesting areas. Our trained possum catchers know exactly where to look, whether it’s in your roof, under your deck, or in hidden backyard spots.
  2. Humane Possum Trapping
    Using specialized traps approved for possum removal, we safely capture the possums without causing them harm. These creatures are then relocated to a suitable environment where they can thrive.
  3. Possum Proofing Your Property
    To prevent future invasions, we seal entry points and install barriers. Our team also provides possum box installation as an alternative shelter to encourage them to stay away from your property.
  4. Follow-Up Services
    We’re here for the long term. Our possum prevention measures include regular check-ups to ensure your home remains a possum-free zone. Need dead possum removal? We handle that too, eliminating odors and health hazards efficiently.
