Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of a possum infestation in my roof?

Common indicators of a possum infestation include:

  • Nocturnal noises: Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds at night.
  • Droppings: Dark, pellet-like droppings around the property.
  • Odours: Strong, musky smells from urine or nesting materials.
  • Damage: Chewed wires, insulation, or structural materials.
  • Sightings: Possums entering or exiting the roof space.

If you notice these signs, it's advisable to consult a professional pest control service promptly.

Is it legal to remove possums from my property in Australia?

In Australia, possums are protected under various state laws, including the National Parks and Wildlife Act.This means it is illegal to harm, trap, or relocate possums without proper authorisation.Trapping and relocating possums require adherence to specific regulations to ensure their welfare. For instance, captured possums must be released within a short distance from where they were found, typically within 50 meters, to prevent disorientation and stress.

How can I humanely deter possums from entering my roof?

To deter possums:

  • Seal entry points: Close gaps around eaves, vents, and roof tiles.
  • Trim vegetation: Keep tree branches away from the roofline.
  • Install deterrents: Use motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices.
  • Provide alternative housing: Install possum boxes in nearby trees.

Implementing these measures reduces the likelihood of a possum infestation.

What should I do if I find a possum in my roof?

If you discover a possum in your roof:

  1. Avoid direct contact: Do not attempt to handle the possum yourself.
  2. Contact professionals: Reach out to licensed pest control services experienced in humane possum removal.
  3. Provide alternative shelter: Install a possum box nearby to encourage relocation.
  4. Seal entry points: Once the possum has vacated, secure all potential access points to prevent re-entry.

Professional assistance ensures compliance with legal requirements and the welfare of the possum.

Are there penalties for illegally relocating possums?

Yes, unauthorised relocation of possums can result in significant fines. For instance, in Victoria, breaches of the Wildlife Act 1975 can carry penalties of up to $9,246 and/or 2 years imprisonment, or $44,380 under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulation 2016.
