Possums
How to Get Rid of Possums
Possums are found all around the state, they mostly like to live in trees around homes or in bush areas. However, they are also known to settle in roof spaces or chimneys of buildings if given the chance.
If you’re unsure if you have a possum or rat in your roof, if you can hear what sounds like an elephant walking around up there - it’s probably a possum. For all their nocturnal camouflage, they are very noisy creatures when moving about.
The best method of controlling these pests is to ensure that tree branches are kept away from the house, to prevent possums from being able to cross them to get in, as well as sealing any entry points the possum might be able to climb inside. If you have a possum currently residing in your roof, give us a call about the options for removal as they can be trapped and removed.
