A possum removal Melbourne service built around one job
Safe Possum Control does one thing: gets possums out of Melbourne homes and keeps them out. We do not spray for spiders or bait for rats. Every job is a possum job, which is why the whole process, from the first phone call to the final seal, is built around how possums behave and what Victorian law allows.
Most calls start the same way. Someone has been woken by thumping in the ceiling, found droppings on the deck or noticed a smell in a cupboard. They want to know what is up there, what it will take to fix and what it will cost. Our job is to answer those questions plainly and then do the work properly.
The pages on this site are written from the questions we are asked every week, including the answers people do not always want to hear, such as why a caught possum has to stay on your property.
Four promises on every possum control Melbourne job
Seal first, then remove
Every gap except the active entry is closed before a one-way door goes on, so the possum has one way out and no way back.
A fixed price before we start
You get a price range on the phone and a fixed price on site. If we find something new, we stop and agree it with you first.
The law, every time
A caught possum goes back out on your own land, no more than 50 metres from the trap, once the sun has set. We explain the reason on the first call.
A guarantee in writing
Each entry we seal is covered for 36 months, written down and left with you, with no renewal fees.
Humane possum removal under Victorian law
Brushtail and ringtail possums are protected wildlife in Victoria. That decides how we work, not the other way round.
- One-way doors are our first choice because the possum leaves on its own and is never handled
- Trapping is used only for brushtails living in a building, or with a DEECA authority for ringtails
- Any caught possum is released on the same property, within 50 metres, after sunset on the day of capture
- We check for dependent young before fitting a door and wait if they are too small to follow
- Consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law cover all of our work
What a possum removal service should never promise you
A few lines get used a lot in this industry. You will not hear them from us.
- That a possum can be driven away and let go in a park
- That a spray or a light will move a settled possum out of your roof on its own
- That no possum will ever try your roof again, when possums live all around Melbourne
- That a door on its own, with no sealing, is a finished job
- That a technician will turn up within sixty minutes of any call, day or night
