Possums are a protected species in Australia — but when they move into your roof, ceiling, or garage, they can cause serious disruptions. From loud noises at night to damage caused by droppings and chewing, possums are a nuisance that require professional possums control — done safely and legally.
At Bug Boyz, we specialise in humane possum removal and long-term prevention solutions, helping homeowners restore peace to their property while respecting wildlife laws.
How to Know If You Have a Possum Problem
Possums are nocturnal and usually enter homes through broken tiles, gaps in eaves, or uncovered roof vents. Here are signs you may need possums control:
-
Thumping or scratching sounds in the roof at night
-
Foul smells from droppings or urine in the ceiling
-
Visible damage to insulation, wiring, or vents
-
Possum sightings around your property or roofline
-
Pets reacting to noises in the ceiling
If these signs sound familiar, it’s time to call in the professionals.
Our Approach to Humane Possums Control
Possums are protected under Australian law, meaning they must not be harmed. Bug Boyz uses approved, ethical methods for safe removal and exclusion:
-
Inspection – We identify entry points and confirm the presence of possums.
-
Trapping & Removal – Using licensed, humane traps, we safely remove the animal.
-
Possum-Proofing – Once removed, we seal all access points to prevent re-entry.
-
Relocation – Possums are released within 50m of capture, as required by law.
-
Follow-Up – We can revisit your property to ensure your possum issue is fully resolved.
Why DIY Possum Removal Can Be Risky
Attempting to remove or relocate possums yourself is illegal without a license — and it can be dangerous. Possums can bite or scratch when threatened, and incorrect handling may result in fines or animal harm.
With Bug Boyz, you get expert help that complies with local regulations, ensuring the safety of your home and the possum.
Possum-Proofing Tips for Prevention
After removal, prevention is key. Here are a few possums control tips to keep them out:
-
Repair broken roof tiles or gaps in eaves
-
Install possum-proof mesh over vents and chimneys
-
Trim tree branches that give possums roof access
-
Avoid leaving food or pet bowls outside overnight
-
Use sensor lights to discourage nesting
