How do I know if there are possums in my roof?

The most common signs are loud banging, thumping, or running noises across your ceiling at night (as they are nocturnal). You might also smell a strong ammonia odor (urine), see yellow stains on your ceiling, or hear guttural screeching sounds.

Can possums cause damage in the roof cavity?

Yes, significant damage. They trample and soak insulation with urine, chew through electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), dislodge air conditioning ducting, and leave droppings everywhere. It is important to remove them quickly.

How do you get them out of the roof?

We primarily use one-way exit doors installed at their main entry point. This allows the possum to leave at night to feed but prevents it from getting back in. We also use humane cage traps when necessary.

Why do possums like roof cavities so much?

To a possum, your roof cavity is just a large, warm, dry hollow tree. It provides excellent protection from predators and the weather, making it an ideal nesting site.

Can I just use rat poison?

No! Poisoning native animal like possums causes real harm and cruel. It can also result in the possum dying inside your roof, creating an unbearable stench that can last for weeks.

Will the possums try to get back in?

They certainly will. That is why 'proofing' (sealing up all entry points) is the most critical part of our service. We use strong materials that they cannot chew through to for good lock them out.

Do you fix the damage they caused?

We can assist with removing contaminated insulation and sanitizing the area. For electrical or structural repairs, we can recommend trusted tradespeople if we cannot perform the minor fix ourselves.

How long does the removal process take?

Typically, we set the one-way doors or traps and monitor for a few days to ensure all possums are out. Once we are certain the roof is empty, we return to for good seal the entry point.

Is the removal process noisy?

Our work is generally quiet. However, the possums themselves can be noisy when they realize they are locked out, often checking around the roof for another way in for a night or two.

What if it turns out to be rats, not possums?

We check for signs of both. If it is rats, we have separate pest control procedures to handle rodent infestations properly.

Our vans cover Brisbane's southside continuously, so a Underwood callout rarely waits. That local familiarity matters: we know the common failure points on homes here before we get on the roof.
