Possum Removal in Sydney — what's involved
Possums are protected native animals in NSW, so they cannot be poisoned or relocated far from their territory. Humane possum removal involves finding how the possum is getting into your roof, fitting a one-way exclusion door so it can leave but not return, sealing the remaining entry points, and — where appropriate — providing an alternative possum box nearby on your property.
Signs you have a possum in the roof
- Thumping, scratching or running in the roof, especially at dusk and night
- Urine stains or a strong smell on ceilings
- Droppings in the roof void, on verandas or near downpipes
- Displaced roof tiles, gaps under eaves or damaged vents
- Possums seen on the roof or climbing trees and fences near the house
- Chewed wiring or disturbed insulation
Our possum removal service
- Roof void and roofline inspection to find entry points
- One-way exclusion door fitted at the main entry
- Sealing and proofing of other gaps (materials quoted)
- Follow-up check to confirm the possum has left
- Possum box supply and installation on your property (optional)
- Handling in line with NSW rules for protected native animals
Before we arrive
- Make the roof manhole accessible
- Note where and when you hear the possum
- Trim branches touching the roof if you can — they are a common access route
Your technician will confirm re-entry times and aftercare on the day.
Our humane possum process
Find the way in
We inspect the roof and roofline to find every gap the possum is using.
Let it out, not back
A one-way exclusion door lets the possum leave at night but stops it returning.
Proof the roof
Once it has gone, entry points are sealed and a possum box can be installed nearby.

Possum Removal FAQs
How much does possum removal cost in Sydney?
It depends on how many entry points need proofing, the roof type and access. Send the form with photos of the roofline if you can and we will quote.
Can you take the possum away?
No — in NSW, possums are protected and should not be relocated away from their home territory, where they are unlikely to survive. The humane approach is to exclude them from your roof and give them an alternative shelter nearby.
How long does it take?
The exclusion door and proofing are usually installed in one visit. The possum typically leaves on its next night out, and we can return to confirm and seal the final entry point.
What if a possum has babies in the roof?
Tell us if you suspect young are present. The approach and timing may need to change so a mother is not separated from her young.
Can you come after hours?
Yes. Same-day and after-hours bookings are available, subject to technician availability — possums are most active in the evening, which can help with inspection.
