Possums in the Roof Are More Than a Noise Problem
Brushtail and ringtail possums are a common sight across South East Queensland, and a warm, dry roof cavity makes a perfect den. Once inside, possums can stain ceilings with urine, leave droppings through insulation, chew electrical wiring and create a strong, lingering odour.
Both species are protected under Queensland law, so possum removal has to be done the right way — which is why our bird and wildlife control team focuses on humane removal and long-lasting proofing, not quick fixes. If possums keep coming back, read our guide on why possums keep returning to your roof.
Signs You Have a Possum in the Roof
Thumping & Scratching
Heavy footsteps and scratching in the ceiling after dark, especially around dusk and dawn.
Urine Stains on Ceilings
Yellow or brown patches spreading across ceilings and cornices beneath the nest.
Strong Ammonia Odour
A sharp, musty smell inside the house that gets worse in warm, humid weather.
Droppings & Damage
Droppings near the eaves, disturbed insulation, chewed wiring or lifted roof tiles.
Our Four-Step Possum Removal Process
Roof Cavity Inspection
We locate the nest, identify the species and find every gap the possum is using to get in.
Humane Removal
Possums are removed safely using one-way exits or humane capture, in line with Queensland wildlife rules.
Entry Point Proofing
We seal gaps, broken tiles, eaves and vents with durable possum-proof materials so they can’t return.
Nest Box & Follow-Up
We can advise on a nearby possum box for alternative shelter and check the proofing is holding.

Can I remove a possum from my roof myself?
Possums are protected native animals in Queensland, so they can’t simply be trapped and relocated somewhere else. Removal needs to follow state wildlife rules, which is why it’s best handled by an experienced professional who can remove the possum humanely and proof the roof at the same time.
How much does possum removal cost?
Cost depends on how many possums are present, the size and access of your roof, and how much proofing is needed. We provide a free, obligation-free quote after a quick phone chat or on-site inspection.
Will possum removal harm the animal?
No. We use humane methods such as one-way exits and careful capture and release, so the possum is unharmed and simply prevented from getting back into your home.
How do you stop possums coming back?
Removing the possum is only half the job. We seal every entry point with durable materials and can install a possum box nearby, giving the animal somewhere else to live so it stops trying to get back in.
Is it a possum or a rat in my roof?
Possums make heavy thumping sounds, usually around dusk and dawn, and leave larger droppings. Rats make lighter, faster scurrying sounds. Not sure? We’ll inspect and tell you — and if it’s rodents, see our rodent control service.
