Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about possum removal in Melbourne.

How do I know if it’s a possum and not rats?

Possums typically create heavier “thumping” and running sounds. Rodents often sound lighter and more continuous. An inspection confirms the source.

What is possum proofing?

Proofing is sealing entry points and reinforcing weak roofline access areas after the possum exits—helping prevent re-entry.

Will they come back after removal?

They can if entry points remain open. That’s why we focus on proofing and prevention advice.

How quickly can you attend?

We offer 24/7 availability. Same-day attendance may be available depending on your suburb and technician schedule.
