Possums can bring fleas and ticks into your property, which may then affect your pets. Their droppings and urine can also create hygiene issues, and when possums settle into roofs or wall cavities they can damage insulation, timbers and other parts of the home. In some cases, nests in chimneys or flues can become a fire risk. All up, a possum problem can turn into a costly one if it’s left too long. Proper possum pest control helps you deal with the issue early and reduce the risk of further damage.
Because possums are nocturnal, they are usually most active when your household is trying to sleep. That means you might hear them long before you see them, or only notice the damage once it has built up. They can also clash with household pets, creating stress, noise and the risk of scratches or bites. Possum removal is not something to put off. It helps to have a prompt, professional possum catcher who understands the right approach to possum capture.
The best place to start is with clear, expert advice. Jacka Bros Pest Control can help you understand what is happening and what your next step should be.
One of the biggest frustrations with possums is the noise. If they are running across your roof or settling into a ceiling cavity, they can disturb the whole house night after night. They can also damage parts of your home and garden, so it is important to understand exactly what you are dealing with. Effective possum removal is a specialised job. You need to know whether there is one possum or several, where they are getting in, and whether they have already caused damage.
Possums are a protected species in Australia, so possum control has to follow strict guidelines. If a possum is removed from your property, it must be released in line with those rules, including within the required distance of where it was captured. It is also important to block access points into your roof, walls or ceiling so they do not come straight back in. If a possum family has already moved in, the right plan makes all the difference.
Having Jacka Bros on your side means you can deal with the issue carefully, lawfully and with the possum’s welfare in mind.
Reducing the chances of possums getting into your home starts with a few simple steps. Seal up potential access points around the roof, including gaps in tiles, spouting, pipework and cabling. Roof access is one of the most common ways possums get in. It also helps to trim back overhanging branches and remove easy pathways onto the roof. There are a few things you can do yourself, but when you need practical advice and proper possum capture support, it makes sense to bring in a professional possum catcher.
