OUR POSSUM REMOVAL AND CONTROL MANAGEMENT
SOLUTIONS
When dealing with pest possums, we follow a
systematic approach to ensure a successful
outcome 1. Inspection Our experienced
technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of
your property to identify the extent of the
possum infestation and determine the entry points
and areas where possums are causing damage or
nuisance. 2. Removal We employ humane trapping
methods to safely capture and remove possums from
your property. Our team will take measures to
minimize stress to the animals and ensure their
welfare throughout the removal process. 3.
Exclusion To prevent possums from reentering
your property, we identify and seal off potential
entry points such as gaps, holes, or damaged
areas. This helps to create a barrier that keeps
possums out and protects your property from
future infestations. 4. Repairs and Cleanup If
possums have caused any damage to your property,
such as chewing on wires or insulation, we can
assist with repairs and cleanup to restore your
property to its original condition

POSSUM SAFETY TIPS
When it comes to possum safety, here are some
tips to keep in mind 1. Maintain Distance and
Respect Possums are wild animals and should be
observed safely. Avoid approaching or attempting
to touch them. Instead, respect their space and
allow them to go about their natural behaviours
without interference. 2. Do Not Feed Possums
Feeding possums can disrupt their natural diet
and behaviour and may also attract them to areas
where they can become dependent on human-provided
food. This can lead to problems such as
aggression, property damage, or increased risk of
disease transmission. Instead, allow possums to
find their natural food sources. 3. Secure Waste
Bins Possums are opportunistic foragers and may
be attracted to garbage bins or waste containers
in search of food. Ensure that compartments are
tightly sealed to prevent easy access for
possums. Use bins with secure lids or bungee
cords or other means to keep lids closed.

POSSUM SPECIES
Australia has diverse possum species, each with
unique characteristics and habitat preferences.
Here are some notable possum species found in
Australia 1. Brushtail Possum The brushtail
possum is one of Australias most widespread
possum species. They have a bushy tail, large
ears, and furry coats ranging from grey to brown.
Brushtail possums are adaptable and can be found
in various habitats, including forests,
woodlands, and urban areas. 2. Ringtail Possum
Ringtail possums are known for their prehensile
tails, which they use to grip branches and
navigate through trees. They have a pointed snout
and are typically smaller than brushtail possums.
Ringtail possums prefer habitats with dense
vegetation, including forests, rainforests, and
suburban gardens. 3. Sugar Glider Sugar gliders
are small, arboreal possums known for their
ability to glide through the air using a
patagium, a flap of skin between their limbs.
They have a membrane that extends from their
wrists to their ankles, allowing them to glide
between trees. Sugar gliders are predominantly
nocturnal and can be found in forests and
woodlands across Australia.

POSSUM REMOVAL
Removing possums from your property should be
approached carefully and by local regulations.
Here are some general guidelines for possum
removal 1. Determine the Legal Requirements
Check your local regulations regarding possum
removal. In some regions, possums may be
protected wildlife, and removing them without the
appropriate permits or authorization may be
illegal. Contact local wildlife authorities or
relevant agencies to understand the legal
requirements. 2. Identify the Entry Points
Determine how possums access your property. Look
for potential entry points, such as gaps in the
roof, vents, or wall openings. Possums are agile
climbers, so its essential to identify all
possible access routes. 3. Seal Entry Points
Once you have identified the entry points, seal
them to prevent possums from entering your
property. Use wire mesh, metal flashing, or wood
to block access. Ensure that the sealing is
secure but does not trap any possums inside.
