Possums are native Australian animals that won’t harm humans and they usually stay away from people.

Why Is Possum Removal Necessary?
Possum infestation can have a serious impact on your property which is exactly why you should seek the services of a professional possum catcher as soon as you see a possum in your home.
There are a few reasons why possums can cause health issues and create problems around your property that are expensive to fix:
– Possum droppings contain bacteria that can cause humans to develop flesh-eating ulcers and even a permanent functional disability.
– Possums in rural and semi-urban areas prefer to live in trees. But the possums that live in urban areas nest in roofs and they often damage the roof tiles in the process.
– They will eat whatever food they find inside your house or workplace. They will also tear up the ductwork and insulation, produce pungent odours, leave stains, make noise and other problems too.
– Possums might act aggressively towards your pets.
– Possums tend to carry diseases, fleas, mites and ticks.
The Possum Removal and Trapping Treatment Sydney
It is illegal in Australia to kill possums or to try to remove ringtail possums without a permit and great care is needed for possum removal. Possums might try to defend themselves with their sharp teeth if you are trying to trap them or remove them yourself. This is why you should hire a professional possum trapping service Sydney to do this for you.
Tom’s Pest Control follows a standardised four-step procedure for handling possums and possum removal. We offer same-day possum removal services, emergency possum removal, and dead possum removal to customers across Sydney. We liaise with local wildlife departments to ensure these animals are safely moved from your property.
Possum Removal Inspection
Our possum specialist can respond quickly and get to your property for emergency possum removal in Sydney. We will inspect the property to find any spots that these animals are living in before beginning our possum removal service. We will also identify the extent of the infestation and the damage they may have caused, what possible risks they may cause for you and your property, how they are entering your building, and other relevant factors.
We will also determine what type of possum and how many are living in your property prior to the possum removal service. The two most common possum species in Sydney are ringtails and brushtails.
Possum Removal Plan
Our technicians will implement a same-day possum removal service based on the information they gathered from their inspection. The possum removal plan will explain the process, how long it will take and give you guidance on any other precautions you need to take or safety measures in the meantime.
Our team of possum catchers have years of training and experience in evaluating the behavioural habits of possums and complying with the Wildlife Act 1975 which lists possums as a protected animal.
The Possum Removal Process
As per the possum removal plan, our OEH-certified experts will remove them from your property without causing them any distress. Our possum catcher team usually uses both one way doors and cage traps, made from wire mesh to trap possums. We monitor these cages until the possum is caught, then the possums are released in accordance with the New South Wales government’s guidelines.
Ongoing Possum Prevention
We will block up areas where possible included in our work, and recommend some ongoing possum prevention methods you should utilise to prevent possums from entering your property in future. This can be achieved by following the below steps:
- Installing plastic barriers on your trees to stop possums from climbing them
- Trimming back any trees that are touching the property, as possums use them
- Blocking up access points that allow these pests to enter the property
- Placing spikes on fences to prevent access
- Covering fruit trees and edible plants with suitable netting
- Keeping pet food out of reach for possums
