Possum Pest Control

Possum Relocation

At SRM Termite & Pest Control, we understand that possums, while native and protected in Australia, can become a significant nuisance when they invade your property. These nocturnal animals often seek shelter in roof spaces and sheds, causing damage and noise. Our humane possum relocation services ensure that possums are safely removed from your home without harm, and we implement effective measures to prevent their return.

Why Possum Relocation is Important

Possums are a protected species under Australian law, meaning it is illegal to harm or kill them. However, they can create problems when they choose to nest in residential areas. Possums are known to:

• Damage Property: Possums can chew through insulation, wiring, and roof materials in search of shelter. Their droppings and urine can also stain ceilings and create foul odors.
• Create Noise: These nocturnal creatures are active at night, often making loud thumping or scratching noises as they move through your roof or walls, disrupting your sleep.
• Spread Pests: Possums can bring fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, posing health risks to both pets and humans.

Relocating possums safely and humanely is the best solution to protecting your home and maintaining the wellbeing of these native animals. At SRM Termite & Pest Control, we specialize in possum removal that complies with all legal regulations, ensuring the possums are safely relocated to a suitable habitat.

Our Possum Relocation Process

Possums can be tricky to remove due to their nocturnal habits and ability to find hidden spaces in your home. Our trained professionals follow a careful process to ensure their safe relocation, minimizing harm to the possums and preventing future problems

Preventing Possums from Returning

Simply removing possums is not enough to ensure they don’t return. These clever animals can easily find their way back into your home if entry points are not properly secured. At SRM Termite & Pest Control, we go the extra mile by offering comprehensive prevention measures to keep your home possum-free.

Possums are excellent climbers and can squeeze through small gaps to access your home. After relocation, we inspect your property for any entry points, such as broken roof tiles, gaps in the eaves, and damaged vents. We professionally seal these openings to prevent possums from re-entering. This step is crucial for long-term prevention and ensures that your home is fully protected.

To further deter possums from coming back, we can install possums deterrents such as one way doors or strong-smelling substances that possums dislike, around potential entry points.

Possums are persistent creatures, so ongoing monitoring is important to ensure your home remains secure. We offer regular maintenance checks to identify any new vulnerabilities or entry points that could allow possums to return. Our team also provides practical advice on how to discourage possums from nesting in your roof, such as trimming tree branches away from the roofline and securing compost bins or pet food and even setting up possum boxes that are more attractive than your roof.
