Our Possums Extermination Process

Possums are a common wildlife species in Brisbane, often found in residential areas due to their adaptability. While they are protected under Australian law, their presence can lead to various issues, including noise, property damage, and health risks. This guide provides detailed information on humane possum removal and prevention strategies tailored for Brisbane residents.

Once you contact us about your possum issue, our qualified possum catchers will come to your property at the time you’ve provided. They will be able to identify possums’ habits, their prevalence, the amount of damage done, and the wellbeing risks to those that access the property.

Once the results have been finalised, we’ll put together a removal plan for the possums near your property. The plan will clearly state the removal processes, how long it’ll take, and what you’ll need to do following our service. Our team trained to recognise the behaviour of possums and be mindful of legal issues.

Our highly qualified possum catchers will follow your removal plan in detail in order to remove all the identified possums. Depending on the level of infestation, we’ll choose the best removal process for your situation. This may include using cage traps or wire mesh in order to capture possums. All our processes meet the guidelines set out by Wildlife Australia.

Removing possums is vital to the long-term health and safety of your home or commercial business. Once our team have finished the removal process, another inspection may be required in order to make sure the possums are no longer present. In complex cases, the team may need to make multiple possum removal visits in order to guarantee your property is safe.

Why Do You Need Professional Possum Removal?

Many residents and business owners have continuously reported problems of possum infestation. For instance, complaints include possums causing damages in roofs and chimneys. Moreover, they also have been a problem in gardens and even in offices. There are a few reasons why possums can cause health issues and create problems around your property that are expensive to fix:

• Possum droppings contain bacteria that can cause humans to develop flesh-eating ulcers and even a permanent functional disability.
• Possums in rural and semi-urban areas prefer to live in trees. But the possums that live in urban areas nest in roofs and they often damage the roof tiles in the process.
• They will eat whatever food they find inside your house or workplace. They will also tear up the ductwork and insulation, produce pungent odours, leave stains, make noise and other problems too.
• Possums might act aggressively towards your pets.
• Possums tend to carry diseases, fleas, mites and ticks.

Possums are protected under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992. It is illegal to harm or kill possums, and removal must be conducted humanely and in accordance with the law. The challenge in dealing with possums is that you can’t simply remove them. Specifically, it’s illegal to catch, kill, or release possums without a license. To ensure legal compliance in dealing with possums, it will be best to leave possums alone for professionals.
