Our Two Methods

How We Remove Possums

Possums are protected under Victorian law. Both our methods are 100% humane and fully compliant with the Wildlife Act 1975.

Trap & Relocate

We humanely capture the possum using purpose-built traps, then release it within 50 metres of capture — as required under Victorian wildlife regulations. Safe, legal, and stress-free for the animal.

  • Cage trap set by licensed technician
  • Possum checked, released within legal 50m radius
  • No harm to the animal at any stage
  • Complies with Wildlife Act 1975 (Vic)
  • Ideal for immediate relief from roof noise
Humane Same Day Wildlife Compliant

Important: Victorian law prohibits relocating possums more than 50m from capture. Any company offering distant relocation is operating illegally. We strictly comply.

Proofing & Exclusion

The permanent solution. We conduct a full roof and property inspection, identify every entry point possums are using, and seal them with professional-grade materials — so they can never re-enter.

  • Full roof inspection — tiles, fascia, eaves, vents
  • All entry points sealed with durable materials
  • One-way exit devices fitted where needed
  • Possum nesting box placement advice included
  • Long-term prevention — no repeat entries
Permanent Fix Best Value Guaranteed

Best Practice: Most vets and wildlife councils recommend exclusion as the most effective and animal-friendly long-term solution. Possums find a new territory naturally.

Real Reviews

Melbourne Homeowners Trust Us

"Had a possum in my roof for weeks. VanishPest came the same day I called, sealed off every entry point, and I haven't heard a thing since. Worth every dollar."

"Very professional. Explained the difference between trap & relocate vs exclusion clearly — no upselling. Chose exclusion, it's been 3 months and zero possum activity."

James T.

"Booking was easy, the tech was on time, and the job was clean. They even told me where to put a possum box in the garden so the possum has somewhere nearby to live. Legends."

Common Questions

Possum Removal FAQs

Everything Melbourne homeowners ask us before booking.
Yes, but only when performed by a licensed technician. Possums are a protected species under the Victorian Wildlife Act 1975. VanishPest holds the required wildlife handling licences. Attempting to trap or relocate a possum yourself without a licence is illegal and can attract significant fines.
Trap & Relocate involves humanely capturing the possum using a cage trap and releasing it within 50 metres as required by law — it's a short-term solution. Proofing & Exclusion is the permanent solution — we identify and seal every gap, hole, and entry point in your roof and property so possums physically cannot re-enter. Most customers who want a lasting fix choose Proofing & Exclusion, or we recommend combining both methods.
No — and any company offering this is operating outside the law. Victorian regulations require possums to be released within 50 metres of the capture site. Possums are territorial and transporting them further causes extreme stress and dramatically reduces survival rates. The legal and humane alternative for a permanent solution is Proofing & Exclusion.
The most common signs are: loud thumping or scratching sounds in the roof at night (possums are nocturnal), a strong musky odour coming from the ceiling area, visible droppings near entry points, staining on ceilings, or seeing a possum entering or exiting the eaves at dusk. If you notice any of these, call us — we can confirm and advise in a single call.
Yes. In most Melbourne suburbs, booking before 12pm will secure a same-day visit from one of our licensed possum technicians. We cover the full metropolitan area including eastern, western, northern and southern suburbs, the Mornington Peninsula, and Greater Geelong.
With Trap & Relocate alone, the same or a different possum can re-enter through the same gaps within days. That's why we always recommend combining it with Proofing & Exclusion for a permanent result. Once all entry points are properly sealed, possums have no way back in — they find a new territory naturally, which is healthier for the animal too.
