In one paragraph
Possum removal is the humane extraction of a possum from a roof, wall or chimney by a licensed operator, followed by sealing every entry point so it cannot return. In Australia possums are protected, so trapping and release must follow state wildlife law. A typical job takes 2–3 hours, inspection is free, and we are on site in Deakin within 60 minutes.

What you are hearing
Signs of possum trouble
in Deakin.
Heavy thumping after dark
Possums are nocturnal and heavy-footed. Thumping that starts at dusk and moves across the ceiling is the clearest sign of all.
Hissing, screeching, grunting
Territorial calls carry through plaster. Two possums in one roof will fight, and you will hear it.
Stains on the ceiling
Urine soaks through plasterboard and leaves brown rings. Left alone it rots the sheet and the timber above it.
Damaged insulation and wiring
Possums flatten batts to make a nest and chew cabling, which is where the fire risk comes from.
Scratching around the eaves
Claw noise at the roof line, usually at dusk or just before dawn, is a possum working an entry point.
A sour, musky smell
Droppings and urine build up in the cavity. The smell gets into the rooms below long before you see anything.

Questions from
Deakin customers.
How fast can you get to Deakin?
A technician is on site in Deakin within 60 minutes, 6am–10pm, 7 days. Your booking is confirmed within 10 minutes by an operator, not an automated reply.
Do you cover all of Deakin?
Yes — every street in Deakin and the surrounding the ACT and Queanbeyan. There is no call-out fee anywhere in our service area.
How do I get a possum out of my roof?
A licensed operator installs a one-way door over the active entry point so the possum leaves at dusk and cannot get back in, then seals every other opening. DIY trapping is illegal in Australia because possums are protected.
Is it illegal to remove a possum yourself?
Yes. Possums are protected native animals in every state we operate in. Trapping, relocating or harming one without a licence carries significant fines.
How much does possum removal cost?
Inspection is free and the price is fixed before work starts. Cost depends on how many entry points need sealing, not on how long the animal takes to leave. First-time customers take 25% off with the code POSSUM25.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs are finished in 2–3 hours on the first visit, including sealing. Larger roofs with multiple entry points sometimes need a short second visit.
Will the possum come back?
Not through a sealed opening. Removal without sealing is temporary — the roof is still an open invitation, which is why sealing is part of every job.
Do you relocate the possum?
Release is handled exactly as your state law requires. In Victoria a possum must be released on the same property, which is why sealing is the only real fix there.
