Possum Removalin Sydney

No. Common Brushtail and Common Ringtail possums are protected native animals in NSW and licence conditions require release on or very near the property where they were captured. Relocating them further away is illegal and, because possums are territorial, it's also a death sentence for the animal. Sealing the roof is the only lasting fix.

We quote the removal visit and roofline inspection as a fixed price before booking. Proofing and sealing work is quoted after inspection because it depends on how many access points there are and how the roof is built. Request a free quote for a same-day answer.

Usually two visits - removal and roofline inspection first, then proofing and sealing, followed by a check that the roof is secure.

No. One-way doors and traps are set to licence conditions so the Common Brushtail Possum or Common Ringtail Possum leaves under its own power and is not injured or distressed unnecessarily.

Not if the roof is sealed properly and the scent trails are cleaned down. Sealed access points come with a warranty - that's the whole point of doing it this way rather than just removing the animal.

Yes. Common Brushtail Possums are the heavier, noisier roof dwellers you hear thumping at dusk. Common Ringtail Possums are smaller, usually build a leaf-and-twig drey in dense shrubs or trees, and are less likely to be inside the roof. The approach differs, so we identify which native species you have first.

Concentrated urine and droppings hold odour, can stain and eventually damage ceiling sheeting, and attract insects. We clean down affected areas and advise if any ceiling material needs replacing.

No, but the work must be carried out under the relevant NSW licence conditions for handling protected wildlife. We handle that compliance as part of the job.
