What Is Possum Removal in Greenacre?
Possum removal in Greenacre is the licensed, humane process of locating, safely evicting, and excluding possums from residential and commercial properties. It involves a full roof cavity inspection, installation of one-way exit doors, physical sealing of all entry points, and sanitisation of the affected area. All work complies with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act, which protects possums as native wildlife. Our technicians are NSW-licensed, fully insured, and trained to handle both brushtail and ringtail species.
Santosh Katuwal, our founder and certified pest management professional, has handled possum jobs across Greenacre and the wider south-western Sydney corridor for three years. We know the property types, the common entry points, and exactly what it takes to keep a Greenacre roof possum-free long-term.
Why Greenacre Properties Attract Possums
Greenacre’s established tree canopy and mix of older detached homes and medium-density properties create consistent possum pressure throughout the suburb. Brushtail possums move confidently through the area’s mature gum and fig trees, using rooftops as travel corridors between feeding sites.
Older properties in 2190 commonly have wide eave gaps, damaged roof vents, and aging fascia boards that provide easy roof access. Once a possum establishes a nesting site inside a roof cavity, it returns repeatedly unless the entry point is physically sealed. Every week without action means more insulation damage, more urine contamination, and a higher repair bill.
Signs of Possum Activity in Your Greenacre Property
Thumping or scratching sounds from the roof cavity between dusk and midnight.
Strong ammonia smell from the ceiling caused by possum urine saturating roof insulation.
Oval-shaped droppings in the roof space, garden, or on outdoor surfaces.
Damage to garden plants including fruiting trees, passion fruit vines, and rose bushes.
Ceiling plasterboard staining caused by urine seeping through the insulation layer.
Worn or darkened entry points around eaves, soffits, or roof junctions from repeated possum use.
If you are noticing any of these signs, early action is always cheaper than late action. Call 0420 796 740 for a same-day inspection.
Common Ringtail Possum
Smaller and quieter than the brushtail. Ringtails weigh between 550g and 1.1kg and are identified by their grey colouring, cream underbelly, and distinctive curled tail. They are more commonly found in garden vegetation but do enter roof spaces in older Greenacre properties.
Common Brushtail Possum
The most frequent species found in Greenacre roof cavities. Brushtails are large, nocturnal, and territorial. They establish long-term nests in enclosed roof spaces and are the source of the heavy thumping sounds homeowners report at night. Dark grey to black in colour with a bushy tail, they are highly active across Greenacre’s mature tree canopy.
Both species are protected under NSW law and require a licensed technician for lawful removal.
Our Possum Removal Process
Roof Cavity Inspection: Every job begins with a full roof cavity inspection. We identify the species, map all active entry and exit points, and assess damage to insulation, wiring, or roof timbers. You receive a clear scope of work before anything starts no hidden fees, no surprises.
One-Way Exit Doors: We install one-way exit doors at every active entry point. The possum exits as normal but cannot re-enter. This is the most humane and legally compliant removal method available under NSW wildlife law.
Humane Trapping: Where one-way systems are not practical in wall cavities or complex roof configurations, we use licensed humane trapping. The possum is released in line with NSW wildlife regulations.
Possum Proofing: Once the possum is out, we seal every identified entry point using mesh, physical barriers, and eave gap covers. Greenacre properties vary widely in roof type and age. We work through every entry point identified during inspection.
Sanitisation: We clean and treat the nesting area to remove odour, bacteria, and residual material that could attract a new possum to the same location.
12-Month Warranty: Every job is backed by a 12-month service warranty. If a possum re-enters at a treated point within 12 months, we return at no extra cost.

Dead Possum Removal Greenacre
A dead possum inside a roof cavity, wall cavity, or subfloor area creates an immediate and overwhelming odour. Left untreated, a dead possum produces a strong smell for up to eight weeks and attracts flies and secondary pests to the carcass.
Our team locates the carcass, removes it safely using appropriate protective equipment, and sanitises the affected area to eliminate odour and bacteria. If the death has occurred inside a wall or ceiling, we identify the access point and retrieve the animal without unnecessary damage to your property.
Do not attempt to remove a dead possum yourself. Call 0420 796 740 for prompt, professional removal.
