Possum Removal in Kew by Frontline Pest Control
Possum Removal in Kew is a wildlife control service that removes possums from roof spaces, ceilings, wall cavities and sheds, then proof the building so they cannot return. Kew is one of Melbourne's leafiest suburbs, and that is exactly why possums keep moving in. Large homes with mature trees, wide verandas and original timber rooflines give them plenty of access points. Our team works across Kew, Kew East, Studley Park, Balwyn and Hawthorn, so we know the roof types and the streets. When you book Kew Possum Removal, we inspect the roof cavity with a camera, identify the species and entry points, then set a cage trap or one-way possum door. We use Possum Trap and Havahart cages, possum proofing mesh, steel mesh and silicone sealant to close the gaps properly. If you need a possum catcher Kew locals can rely on, we handle the whole job from inspection to proofing and release.

Frontline Pest ControlKew has a high concentration of possums in roof spaces because the suburb combines old established gardens with large, complex roofs. Mature trees along the Yarra River corridor and around Studley Park give possums easy routes onto houses. We serve this area because the demand is steady and the buildings need careful handling. Older homes often have terracotta tiles, timber battens and gaps around flashing that are perfect entry points. We also get calls from Kew East and Balwyn where renovations have opened up new cavities. Our technicians carry roof ladders, inspection cameras, torches and catch poles so we can work safely on steep or fragile roofs.

02Possum in Roof Removal
Possum in roof removal Kew jobs are our most common callout. Older Kew homes often have terracotta tiles, loose flashing and gaps around eaves. We locate the possum, remove it, and then seal the entry points with possum proofing mesh and steel mesh. We also check for damage to insulation and wiring while we are up there.
03Possum Trapping and Relocation
Trapping and relocation in Kew follows the Victoria Wildlife Act 1975. We use Possum Trap and Havahart cage traps, set them in the roof or on the roof line, and check them daily. Once caught, the possum is relocated to a suitable release site. We handle the whole process, including the DEPI permit requirements, so you do not have to.
04Possum Proofing
Possum proofing in Kew is about closing the gaps for good. We use possum proofing mesh, steel mesh, timber battens, roof flashing and silicone sealant to seal entry points around the roof, eaves and wall cavities. We focus on the spots possums actually use, like loose tiles, gaps near chimneys and openings around plumbing. Proofing is done after removal so the animal cannot get back in.
05One-Way Possum Door Installation
A one-way possum door lets the possum out but not back in. We install these on roof entry points in Kew where the possum is still inside. The door is fitted over the entry hole, and once the possum leaves to feed at night, it cannot return. We then remove the door and seal the hole permanently. This is a clean option for older Kew roofs.
06Dead Possum Removal
A dead possum in a roof or wall cavity in Kew needs to be removed quickly. The smell can spread through the house within days. We locate the carcass using an inspection camera and torch, remove it safely, and treat the area to control odour and insects. We also check for other animals and seal the entry point so it does not happen again.

How Possum Removal Is Executed in Kew
Possum removal in Kew follows a clear process. We start with a roof inspection using an inspection camera and torch, looking for entry points, droppings and damage. Then we set a cage trap or one-way possum door, dependi
Older terracotta roofs with loose tiles
Loose tiles create easy entry points for possums and make proofing more complex. We need to check each tile and seal gaps without breaking the roof. How we help: We use roof ladders and walk the roof carefully, replacing or securing loose tiles and sealing gaps with silicone sealant and possum proofing mesh.
Mature trees close to rooflines
Trees around Studley Park and the Yarra River give possums easy access to roofs. This increases the chance of repeat problems if proofing is not done properly. How we help: We inspect the roof-to-tree access points and recommend trimming branches back where possible. We also seal all entry points with steel mesh so possums cannot push through.
Possums in wall cavities of large homes
Large Kew homes often have wide wall cavities that possums use as nesting sites. These are harder to access and require careful inspection. How we help: We use inspection cameras to locate the possum in the cavity, then set traps at the entry points. We seal the cavity after removal using mesh and timber battens.
