Possum Removal

Possums can be a common nuisance in Melbourne, often seeking shelter in roofs, attics, and other areas of your home. These nocturnal animals can cause significant damage and create a noisy environment. At Pest Control Solutions, we specialize in humane and effective possum removal, ensuring that these creatures are safely relocated and your home is protected from further invasions.

Types of Possums in Melbourne

Melbourne is home to a few common types of possums:

Common Brushtail Possum
This is the most frequently encountered possum in urban areas. They are known for their bushy tails and can often be found in roofs and gardens.
Common Ringtail Possum
These possums are smaller and have a distinctive white-tipped tail that curls. They typically nest in trees but can sometimes venture into roofs or garages.

Signs of Possum Infestation

Recognizing the signs of a possum infestation early can help prevent extensive damage and
discomfort. Common indicators include:

Noises in the Roof

Scratching, thumping, or scampering noises at night are often the first signs of possums.

Droppings

Possum droppings are usually found in areas where they are active, such as in the attic or around entry points.

Damaged Insulation

Possums can tear up insulation to make nests, leading to increased energy bills and potential damage.

Unpleasant Odors

A strong, musky odor can indicate the presence of possums in your home.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take action quickly to mitigate the damage and
address the infestation.
