Possum Removal Near Me Melbourne
If you’re searching for Possum Removal Near Me Melbourne, chances are you’ve been hearing strange noises in your home during the night. Scratching, thumping footsteps, loud banging sounds in the ceiling, or sudden disturbances around the roof at midnight are common signs of a possum living inside your property. Possums are nocturnal animals, meaning they are active throughout the night and rest during the day. Once they take up residence in your roof cavity, attic, garage, or shed, they can cause ongoing stress, sleepless nights, and expensive property damage.
Possums enter your home through broken roof tiles, loose sheets, chimneys, vents, and small openings around the eaves. Once inside, they build nests using insulation materials and other debris. Over time, they leave behind urine, droppings, foul smells, stains, chewed electrical wires, and damaged insulation, which can increase fire hazards and restoration costs. They may also behave aggressively if they feel threatened, especially when protecting their young.
Even though they may appear harmless and cute, possums are protected wildlife in Australia. It is illegal to harm, kill, or relocate them without a permit. DIY removal attempts can be dangerous, stressful, and costly — and may result in penalties if handled incorrectly. Therefore, the safest and most responsible approach is to call a licensed possum removal specialist.
At Aptive Pest Control, we provide professional, humane, and legally compliant possum removal services across Melbourne. Our trained technicians conduct a full roof inspection, safely trap and remove the possum, and then perform proofing and sealing services to prevent them from returning. We identify all entry points and install barriers, mesh, and repairs to protect your home long-term.
Possum Removal Process
The Possum Removal Process must be handled carefully, legally, and humanely to protect both your property and the animal. When you contact a licensed possum removal expert, the process begins with a detailed inspection of the roof, attic, or problem area to locate the possum and find all entry points. After confirming activity, a humane, government-approved trap is set according to Victorian wildlife regulations. The possum is safely captured without injury or stress.
Once secured, it is released nearby in accordance with Australian law, maintaining its natural territory. The final and most important step is proofing, which includes sealing gaps, installing mesh, and repairing roof access to prevent re-entry.
