Possum Removal In Sydney

Possums are docile creatures that usually prefer dark, elevated spaces for shelter. They’re typically nocturnal creatures and rarely interact with humans, but it’s not rare for a possum to take up residence in homes in rural areas. Building nests in roof cavities, attics, garages or other spaces, possums can quickly become a nuisance.

While possums are unlikely to directly cause you physical harm, your living conditions will surely deteriorate. A constant barrage of scratching and hissing noises can quickly become annoying. The combination of their nest and their excretions not only lowers the hygiene of your living conditions, but also creates a massive stink. If you have any pets, they could potentially get into fights with the possum too, as they will defend their territory. With all these problems they cause, you’d probably want possum treatment in Sydney as soon as possible.

Why Do I Have Possums?

Like most animals, possums stay near food sources. They primarily feed on plants and fruit, which are in abundance in many people’s yards or gardens. As they are omnivorous scavengers, possums have been known to consume pet food as well. They could even dig through your rubbish for food if they smell something desirable.

Possums feel the safest on elevated spaces like hollows in trees, and that often gives them access to the roofs of homes. Through that, they may find their way into poorly-lit parts of houses, such as attics and garages. To build their nests, they may take fallen leaves and other debris from your yard to make the space comfortable for themselves.

The Active Possum Pest Control Process

Step 1

Possum Inspection

After getting your call, we’ll come to your home and perform a thorough pest inspection in Sydney. We do this to accurately determine the scope of the pest problem going on, which will influence our methods.

It’s very helpful if you can point out where you’ve seen pests or even where a nest is. However, we will still perform a full inspection of the building in case there is more than one source or nest. Occasionally, there may even be more than one type of pest that you didn’t know about!

Step 2

Possum Solution

Based on what we learnt from our inspection, we then decide on suitable countermeasures.

Everything depends on the severity of the infestation; the treatment may range from simply leaving traps or poison for the pests, to full-on application of pesticides and other more powerful treatments. Don’t worry about vacating the premises, thanks to our completely environmentally-friendly and non-toxic pest control solutions.

Step 3

Follow-up

After a certain period, we’ll come back to check how effective our solution has been, resetting traps or reapplying pesticides if necessary. If treatment wasn’t as effective as expected, we always have several backup plans. We have a 12-month guarantee on any job, so rest assured that we’re going to stick around and get things done right, letting your property stay pest-free year-after-year.
