Possum Removal & Control in Sydne

Possums are nocturnal animals that often shelter in roof cavities, garages, and wall spaces, causing noise, foul odours, and property damage. They can chew wiring, disturb insulation, and leave droppings that pose health risks.

Because possums are protected wildlife in NSW, removal must be humane and licensed. Our Sydney possum specialists provide 24/7 emergency response, safe live-capture trapping, and full proofing of entry points—all backed by a 12-month workmanship warranty to keep your home or business possum-free.

Common Signs of Possum Infestation

If you notice any of these signs, act quickly—possums can cause structural damage, create health risks, and lead to repeated infestations if left unchecked.

Noises in the Roof or Walls Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds—especially at night—often mean possums are moving or nesting in your ceiling cavity.
Unusual Odours A strong, musky smell can come from urine trails or nesting materials. If a possum dies in a hidden spot, the odour can become especially foul.
Visible Droppings Possum droppings are sausage-shaped, about 2–3 cm long, and often appear near entry points or along common paths in roof spaces or underfloor areas.
Damage to Insulation or Wiring Chewed insulation, scratched surfaces, or exposed wiring signal possums gathering nesting material or creating new access routes.
Footprints or Tail Marks Look for five-toed paw prints or long, dragging tail marks in dusty or muddy spots like eaves and gutters, often near entry holes.
Nesting Materials Bundles of leaves, twigs, or shredded paper in roof corners or voids are a clear sign of possums building a warm, sheltered nest.
Damaged Vent Covers or Roof Vents Chewed or dislodged vent covers, gaps around fascia boards, or holes in roof sheeting often mark forced entry points.
Unusual Pet Behaviour Dogs or cats suddenly alert or agitated near the roofline, attic hatch, or backyard trees may be reacting to possum activity.

Health Risks from Possums

Possums may look harmless, but they can spread a range of diseases, parasites, and allergens that affect both people and pets:

Leptospirosis

Spread through urine or droppings; can lead to high fever, muscle pain, and kidney or liver problems.

Salmonella

Food- and surface-borne infection from contact with droppings; causes diarrhoea, cramps, and fever.

Toxoplasmosis

Parasite that may be present on fur or in faeces; can cause flu-like symptoms and pose serious risks for pregnant women.

Tularemia

Bacterial infection occasionally linked to possum contact; may cause skin ulcers and severe illness.

Coccidiosis

Protozoan parasites in faeces that can infect pets, causing diarrhoea and weight loss.

Fleas & Ticks

These ectoparasites bite humans and animals and may transmit murine typhus or other tickborne diseases.

Buruli Ulcer

A rare but serious skin infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans found in possum droppings; leads to deep, slow-healing ulcers.

Rabies (Extremely Rare)

Possums rarely carry rabies due to their low body temperature, but isolated cases have been reported.

Allergies & Asthma Triggers

Possum dander, fur, and droppings can aggravate respiratory issues, leading to sneezing, coughing, or wheezing.

Secondary Infestations

Nesting materials or carcasses can attract flies, rodents, and other pests, compounding health hazards.
