How Do You Know If a Possum Is in Your Roof?
Most people already suspect something’s up before they call us. The noise is usually the first thing but it doesn’t always stop there.
Here’s what to look out for:
- Scratching or running sounds at night (possums are nocturnal, so this usually kicks off after dark)
- Loud thuds or heavy movement in the ceiling
- A strong, unpleasant smell is coming from the roof space
- Droppings when you peek into the ceiling
- Spotting possums around your property after sunset
One or two of these? Worth getting checked. All of them? Don’t wait. The longer a possum’s been in there, the messier the situation gets.
What Happens When Possums Are Left Untreated
Possums are not a passive problem. The longer they occupy a roof cavity, the more damage accumulates:
- Electrical fire risk — possums gnaw plastic-coated wiring in roof voids
- Structural damage — insulation is shredded, roof tiles are displaced, timber is stained
- Health and hygiene — urine soaks through plasterboard ceilings causing stains and persistent odour
- Re-entry — possums are territorial and return to the same site repeatedly if entry points are not sealed
Professional removal and sealing is the only permanent fix.

Our Possum Removal Process
Every job follows the same five-step process.
Full Property Inspection
We identify every entry point larger than a tennis ball — gaps in eaves, broken vents, displaced tiles, pipe penetrations, and gaps around fascia boards. A written inspection report is provided.
Humane Removal
Possums are protected under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Trapping or relocating them without authorisation is illegal and carries fines up to $22,000. We use one-way exit doors the possum leaves at night to feed and cannot re-enter. Where required, NPWS-approved cage traps are checked daily.
Structural Sealing
Every identified entry point is sealed using galvanised steel mesh and industrial-grade sealant gnaw-proof and permanent. This is the step most operators skip. It is the only reason possums stop coming back.
Prevention Advice
We walk you through overhanging branches, damaged vents, and any structural issues that will create new entry points over the next few seasons.
Warranty Follow-Up
12-month service warranty on all work. If a possum re-enters through a sealed point within the warranty period, we return at no charge.
Legal Requirements for Possum Removal in NSW
Possums are protected under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. It is an offence to kill, harm, or relocate a possum without a licence from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. NSW law also requires that any trapped possum be released within 150 metres of its capture point — releasing one in a distant park is effectively a death sentence, as resident possums will drive it out.
This is why structural exclusion is the only lawful and permanent solution. Every job Hamro Best Pest Control carries out is fully compliant with NSW wildlife legislation.
How Much Does Possum Removal Cost?
Straight answer: it depends.
Every job is a little different. How the possum is getting in, how long it’s been there, whether any repairs are needed to seal things up properly, all of that affects the final price.
What we can tell you is that our possum removal Parramatta service starts from just $99. Fair, transparent pricing no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end. We’ll give you a clear picture of what’s involved before any work starts.
The best thing to do is give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We’ll sort out a quote based on your actual situation, not a generic number pulled from thin air.

How to Stop Possums Coming Back
Getting rid of the possum is one thing. Keeping them out is another.
Once they’re gone, a few simple things go a long way:
- Seal any gaps in the roof, even small ones. Possums don’t need much space
- Trim back branches that hang over or touch your roofline. That’s usually how they’re getting up there in the first place
- Don’t leave food outside overnight, pet bowls, fruit from trees, anything like that
- Fix damaged vents or eaves before they become an open invitation

Frequently Asked Question
Is possum removal legal?
Yes, but it has to be done humanely and by the rules. Possums are protected in Australia, which means there’s a legal process involved. That’s exactly why it’s best left to professionals rather than trying to handle it yourself.
Will the possum come back?
Only if the entry points are left open. That’s why sealing them up properly is such a big part of what we do, not an afterthought, but a core part of the job.
How quickly can you come out?
Same-day service is available in most cases across Parramatta. Give us a call, and we’ll do our best to get out to you fast.
