Possum Catcher
Our possum catcher service covers the search and capture of a live possum inside your roof, ceiling or wall cavity. We use a torch, inspection camera and catch pole to locate it, then a cage trap or possum box to secure it. Most Melbourne jobs are done within two hours of arrival.

Possum in Roof Removal
Possum in roof removal targets the most common call we get. We map the entry point, usually a lifted tile, broken flashing or gap at the fascia, then remove the animal and close the opening with steel mesh and timber battens. You get a written report of every gap we sealed.

Possum Trapping and Relocation
Trapping and relocation is for possums that cannot be safely excluded with a one-way door, such as a mother with a joey in a wall cavity. We set Tomahawk or Wiretainers traps, check them daily, and release the animal to a permitted location under our DEPI permit. Bait is apple, carrot and peanut butter.

Possum Proofing
Possum proofing stops the next animal getting in. We fit possum proofing mesh, roof flashing and silicone sealant to gaps over 40mm, and reinforce weak spots with timber battens. A typical Hawthorn or Kew roof takes three to five hours to proof properly, and we warranty the workmanship.

One-Way Possum Door Installation
A one-way possum door lets the possum leave at dusk and blocks it from returning. We fit the door over the confirmed entry point, leave it in place for seven to ten days, then remove it and seal the opening. It is the cleanest option when there is only one way in and out.

Dead Possum Removal
Dead possum removal is urgent work because the smell spreads through ceiling insulation within 24 to 48 hours. We locate the carcass with an inspection camera, remove it in sealed bags, and treat the area with an odour neutraliser. Most Melbourne jobs are finished in under three hours.

Emergency Possum Removal
Emergency possum removal runs 24/7 for possum noise at night, a possum in a chimney, or an animal trapped in a wall cavity. We take calls across Melbourne after hours and aim to be on site within 60 to 90 minutes for inner-suburb jobs. You get the same fixed pricing as a daytime booking.

Humane Possum Removal
Humane possum removal is the only kind we do. Possums are protected under the Victoria Wildlife Act 1975, so we use non-lethal traps, gloves and release cages, and we never use poison. Every animal is released to a permitted site, and our team holds animal welfare accreditation.

How our possum removal service runs
You always know what happens next, what needs your approval, and how we confirm the repair worked.
Phone assessment
You describe the noise, the smell or the damage, and we ask the questions that narrow it down: scratching at dusk, thumping at 3am, or a smell that has built over days. We book a time and tell you the likely price range on the call.
On-site inspection
We walk the roof with a roof ladder and torch, check the ceiling space with an inspection camera, and find every entry point. You get a straight answer on what is living there and how it is getting in.
Removal and proofing
We set the trap or one-way possum door, remove the animal humanely, then seal the gaps with possum proofing mesh, flashing and sealant. Most jobs are finished in one visit of two to four hours.
Follow-up check
We come back within seven days to confirm the entry point is still sealed and no new activity has appeared. If a possum has found another way in, we fix it under the same job, not as a new charge.

Why Melbourne calls us for possum work
Anyone can drop a trap in a roof. The difference is knowing where the possum got in, why it chose your ceiling, and how to close the gap so it stays out. Here is what you actually get when you book us.

Questions before we arrive
Possum Removal Melbourne questions
Still unsure? Our team can help identify the safest immediate step and the right appointment type.
How much does possum removal cost in Melbourne?
Most single-possum jobs in Melbourne cost between $180 and $450, and full roof proofing with removal runs $450 to $1,200. The price depends on how high the entry point is, how many gaps we find, and whether a one-way possum door or cage trap is needed. We give you the fixed figure before we start.
Who is the best possum catcher in Melbourne?
The best possum catcher in Melbourne is the one who finds the entry point, removes the animal humanely and seals the gap, rather than just dropping a trap and leaving. Check for a Possum removal licence, public liability insurance and a DEPI permit for relocation. We carry all three and show them on arrival.
Do I need a licence for possum removal in Melbourne?
Yes. Possums are protected under the Victoria Wildlife Act 1975, so anyone trapping or relocating them needs a Possum removal licence and a DEPI permit for the release site. Doing it yourself without a permit can attract fines. We handle the permit and the release, so you are not exposed.
What is the difference between possum removal and possum catcher?
They describe the same job from two angles. Possum removal covers the full service: locating, removing and proofing the roof. A possum catcher is the person or the tool used to secure the animal. In practice, when you book a possum catcher melbourne service, you get both the capture and the exclusion work.
Emergency possum removal Melbourne 24 hour - can you come tonight?
Yes. We run emergency possum removal 24 hours across Melbourne, including weekends. Inner-suburb jobs are usually attended within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. You pay the same fixed rate as a daytime booking, and we can set a one-way door or trap the same night so the noise stops.
