Possum removal involves more than just setting a trap—it requires identifying entry points and repairing access holes. Learn about the costs involved and why professional proofing is essential.
Why Can’t Possum Removal Be Quoted Over the Phone?
Every home is different, so possum removal costs depend on:
- Roof size and complexity (multiple levels, large roof spaces).
- Entry points (cracked tiles, lifted roof sheeting, pipe gaps).
- Number of possums (including babies).
- Required repairs to prevent possums from returning.
What Factors Affect Possum Removal Costs?
1. Property Inspection and Assessment
- A physical inspection is required to locate all access points.
- Most services offer free quotes to assess the work needed.
2. Possum Proofing and Entry Sealing
- Possum removal is 90% building repairs and 10% trapping.
- Costs vary depending on the amount of proofing work required.
3. Trapping and Relocation
- Possums must be released within 25 meters due to wildlife laws.
- Removing one possum doesn’t prevent new possums from moving in.
Why Trapping Alone Won’t Solve the Problem
- Possums mark their territory with scent, meaning another possum will likely take its place.
- Blocking access points is the only permanent solution.
