Possum Control addresses the thumping, scratching, and damage caused when possums make their way into Geelong roof voids and wall cavities. Brushtail and ringtail possums are protected wildlife in Victoria, which means they cannot be trapped, relocated, or harmed. The only legal and effective solution is entry point exclusion and permanent sealing once the possum has exited your property.
Geelong's established suburbs like Newtown, Highton, Manifold Heights, and Herne Hill feature mature tree canopies that create natural possum highways directly to residential rooflines. Older homes with deteriorated fascia boards, open eave caps, and gaps around downpipe brackets provide easy access points. Even newer properties in Armstrong Creek and Charlemont can experience possum entry where construction has left small gaps in the building envelope.
The Possum Control process begins with a thorough inspection of your roof line, fascia, eaves, and any potential entry points. Once all access points are identified, a one-way exclusion device is fitted at the primary entry. Possums leave nightly to feed, and once they exit, all entry points are permanently sealed. This approach make sures possums cannot return while complying fully with Victorian wildlife legislation.
Attempting Possum Control yourself often results in incomplete sealing, which means the possum returns within days. Worse, blocking an entry point while a possum is still inside creates a trapped animal that will cause significant damage trying to escape. Geelong Pest Experts inspects thoroughly, identifies every gap, and make sures the possum has exited before any permanent sealing takes place.
