Why Possum Control Is Essential
Possums may look cute, but once they move into your roof, they can cause serious problems. They tear insulation, chew wiring, and leave behind droppings that create strong odours and hygiene issues. Because they’re nocturnal, the constant movement and noise can also make it hard to sleep.
It’s important to remember that possums are protected under NSW law, which means only licensed handlers can remove or relocate them. Bug Relief provides fully compliant, humane removal so your property and the possums stay safe.
Signs of a Possum Infestation
If you notice any of these, you may have a possum in your roof:
- Thumping or scratching noises at night
- Damage to roof tiles or eaves
- Droppings or nesting materials in your ceiling
- Unpleasant smells from droppings or urine
- Noises or rustling near gutters or outdoor areas
Don’t ignore these signs; the longer possums stay, the more damage they can cause.
