Professional Possum Removal Services in Beveridge

Our possum removal process involves several steps: First, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify possum entry points and activity areas. We then use humane trapping methods to safely capture the possums. According to Victorian wildlife regulations, possums must be released within 50 metres of the capture site, so we install possum boxes nearby as alternative accommodation. Finally, we seal all entry points and install preventative measures to spossums from re-entering your home.

Possum proofing involves identifying and sealing all potential entry points to your home to prevent possums from gaining access. This includes installing mesh guards over vents, sealing gaps in the roof and eaves, repairing damaged roof tiles, and installing barriers to prevent possums from climbing onto your roof.

If orphaned joeys are found, we work with professional wildlife rehabilitators to care they receive proper care.
