The short answer
How do you get a possum out of the roof?
Possum control humanely moves possums out of your roof and seals the entry points so they cannot return. We cover all of Sydney 24/7. Each visit covers roof and entry inspection, humane exclusion plan and licensed handling where required. Call 0494 527 527 or request a free quote online to book.
Check the warning signs
It is rarely just one
If you’ve seen one pest, there are most likely more.
Possums are protected native animals in NSW, so this is not ordinary pest removal. The lasting answer is careful inspection and exclusion that stops them using your roof as a den.
Where capture is required, it must be handled by an appropriately licensed possum handler and the animal must be released unharmed on the same property under NSW rules. We explain the lawful next step clearly before work begins.
Common signs
Signs a possum may be in your roof
Heavy thumping or slow footsteps after dark
Loud movement that sounds bigger than a rat
A strong musky smell in the roof space
Displaced insulation or nesting material
Know the problem
What we treat, in plain English.
We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.
Humane exclusion plan
A practical plan to let the possum leave safely before suitable gaps are secured against another visit.
Licensed handling where required
If capture is needed, the work must follow NSW catch and release licence conditions. No poison, lethal traps or off-site relocation.
Roof proofing advice
We identify damaged eaves, loose tiles and overhanging branches that make your roof an easy return address.

Straight answers
Questions about possum control.
Possums are protected in NSW. Any capture and release must be completed under the correct licence conditions, with the possum released unharmed on the same property near where it was caught. Exclusion and roof proofing are the long-term solution.
No. NSW licence conditions require a captured possum to be released on the same property, within the permitted distance of the capture point. Moving it to a park or bushland is not the lawful or humane solution.
Possums usually make heavier, slower thumps and movement at night. Rats tend to scratch and scurry. An inspection confirms the animal before any plan is recommended.
The key is finding and securing suitable roof entry points after confirming the possum is outside. Trimming access branches and repairing loose eaves or tiles may also help.
