Possum Removal

What To Expect From a Possum Removal Service?

When it comes to seeking professional assistance for possum removal of the common Brushtail Possum and the common Ringtail Possum, property owners are often prompted by two primary reasons that drive their decision to engage a professional to resolve the issue. 

Possum Removal From A Roof

Typically involves the presence of a possum in the roof space, requiring a swift and strategic eviction process. In addressing this common issue, Possum Piper excels in its approach by conducting a meticulous inspection of the property to pinpoint potential entry points where possums may gain access. 

Through this comprehensive assessment, our experienced technicians are able to identify the specific areas on the roof and around the house that serve as entry points for possums. 

Upon locating the entry points, our team installs a specially designed one-way door either directly over the entry point or in close proximity to ensure a smooth exit for the possums without the possibility of re-entry. This innovative door mechanism functions as a vital tool in the eviction process, allowing the possum(s) to leave the roof while cutting off their ability to return. 

Once the possums have vacated the premises, our experts return to remove the one-way door and proceed to possum proof the last opening, effectively possum-proofing the property against any future intrusions. 

While it is common for possums to linger around after their eviction, our methodical approach ensures that re-entry into the roof space is prevented. 

Possum Removal From Around The Property

Conversely, the second common reason for engaging possum removal services arises from a general aversion to having possums on the property due to concerns such as unwanted possum droppings, damage to plants, or the inconvenience of finding possums in unexpected areas like under BBQs etc etc. 

In such cases, individuals may believe that simply catching or trapping the possum and relocating it far away will conclusively resolve the issue. However, possums are protected species.

Under the wildlife regulations in New South Wales, captured possums must be released within a specified distance, no more than 150m from the capture site, to comply with strict legal requirements. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in substantial fines, highlighting the importance of abiding by the law in possum removal processes.

It is crucial to recognize that releasing a possum in proximity to the capture site does not guarantee its permanent absence, as possums are territorial animals and may return to familiar surroundings. Even if released further away, this action inadvertently creates an opportunity for another possum to take up residence, perpetuating the cycle of unwanted intrusions. 

In cases where the possum issue aligns with the second scenario where the primary goal is simply to deter or remove possums from the property, contacting a possum removal service is not advisable, as, unfortunately, there is no effective solution to fully resolve such issues. 

Likewise, relying solely on deterrents or repellents is ineffective against these persistent creatures and will ultimately result in wasted time and money. Pursuing this approach as a standalone solution will not achieve the desired outcome. 

Conversely, for situations falling into the first category, where a possum has infiltrated the roof space, property owners are encouraged to reach out to Possum Piper for expert assistance by either calling 1300 880 194 or send a message on our contact form and we can these discuss the various pricing plans we offer to best resolve you issue.

Our comprehensive possum removal process begins with a meticulous inspection to identify entry points and evaluate the extent of the infestation.

Upon locating the entry points, we implement a unique one-way door system that allows possums to exit the roof space temporarily without re-entry. In cases where trapping is necessary, our skilled team may utilize possum traps in conjunction with or in place of the one-way door. 

In compliance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, any captured possums are released on-site the following evening after sundown, following regulations on distance from the capture site and water sources.

Following successful possum removal, we revisit the property to remove the temporary one-way door and possum proof the premises by sealing entry points with durable materials such as galvanized tin or snake-proof mesh. This proofing prevents future intrusions, safeguarding the property against recurring infestations.

Humane Removal & Safety Concerns

Humane possum control is essential for ecosystem balance as possums aid in pest control by hunting insects and rodents. To effectively remove them, careful monitoring and adjustment of removal strategies are crucial, especially when using traps.

Handling captured possums with care and releasing them safely at a distance is key to humane removal practices. Balancing wildlife coexistence involves empathy, responsible management, and fostering mutual benefit.

Consider health and safety risks with possum removal, as they can carry diseases and parasites, urging caution during handling to prevent potential harm from their nocturnal and defensive behaviors.
