That scratching in your roof at night? Yeah, it’s probably not “just the house settling.”
Possums are sneaky. They find one loose tile, one gap near the eaves, and suddenly, your ceiling is their bedroom. What starts as the occasional bump at 2 am turns into full-on thumping, weird smells, and, if you leave it long enough, actual damage to your insulation or ceiling lining.
At Hamro Best Pest Control, our possum removal Parramatta service is built around one thing: fixing the problem properly so you’re not dealing with it again in three months. We find where they’re getting in, remove them the right way, and seal things up so they can’t come back.
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.

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
Not really a DIY person? That’s fine too. Hamro Best Pest Control can handle all of it we’ll proof your home properly so you’re not back to square one in a few weeks.
