Possums are integral to Australia’s wildlife, but when they invade your property, they can quickly become a nuisance. These nocturnal creatures often take shelter in roofs, garages, and other cozy spaces, causing noise, damage, and unpleasant odours. If you’re dealing with a problem, professional possum control in Sydney is essential to manage the situation effectively and humanely.

Why Possum Control is Important

Though protected by Australian law, possums can create challenges for homeowners and businesses. Here’s why addressing a possum issue promptly is crucial:

1. Noise Disruptions: Possums are most active at night, often causing loud thumping and scratching noises as they move around.
2. Structural Damage: They can damage insulation, wiring, and roofing materials while nesting.
3. Health Risks: Possum droppings and urine can spread harmful bacteria, posing health risks to your family or employees.
4. Legal Compliance: Possums are protected under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act, meaning only licensed professionals can relocate them legally.

Signs of a Possum Infestation

Before seeking professional possum control services, it’s essential to recognise the signs of an infestation:

• Nocturnal Noises: Scratching, running, or thumping sounds at night, especially in the roof or attic.
• Droppings: Possum droppings are typically found near entry points or nesting areas.
• Unpleasant Odors: Possum urine emits a strong, musky smell.
• Chewed Wires or Insulation: Damage in these areas often indicates possum activity.
• Visible Possums: Spotting possums entering or exiting your property during dusk or dawn is a clear indicator.
