Possum

Possums can be charming creatures, but when they invade your home or property, they can cause damage and disruption. At Pestify, we specialise in humane possum removal and relocation services to ensure both the well-being of these native animals and the integrity of your space. Our expert services can help you effectively address possum problems.
 

Possums are marsupials native to Australia and are known for their nocturnal habits. They seek shelter in trees, roofs, and other structures, making homes and buildings attractive nesting sites. Common species include the Common Brushtail Possum and the Ringtail Possum.

 

Signs of Possum Activity

Detecting possum presence is the first step in addressing the issue:

  • Nocturnal Noises: Scratching, running, or vocalisations at night may indicate possum activity.

  • Damaged Garden: Possums can feed on plants and vegetables, causing noticeable damage.

  • Nesting Materials: Spotting nesting materials in your attic, roof, or other areas suggests possum habitation.

​

Potential Issues with Possums

While possums have their place in the ecosystem, they can create problems when they intrude on human spaces:

  • Damage: Possums can cause damage to roofs, insulation, and electrical wiring while nesting.

  • Noise and Disturbance: Nocturnal activity can disrupt sleep and create noise-related concerns.

  • Hygiene and Health: Possums may carry diseases and parasites that can pose risks to humans and pets.
