Possum Pest Control Melbourne – Humane & Legal Removal Solutions
Possums are a protected native species in Victoria, but when they invade your roof, attic, or wall cavities, they can cause serious damage and sleepless nights. At Aptive Pest Control Melbourne, we provide professional possum pest control services that are humane, compliant, and designed for long-term prevention.

Our licensed technicians specialise in safe possum removal, roof inspections, and proofing solutions to stop possums from returning to your property.

Why Possums Become a Problem in Melbourne Homes
Melbourne’s suburban environment provides ideal shelter for possums. Roof cavities offer warmth, protection from predators, and easy nesting spaces.

Common problems caused by possums include:

Loud scratching and thumping noises at night
Roof insulation damage
Chewed electrical wiring
Strong urine odours
Contaminated ceiling spaces
Without professional intervention, possums often return repeatedly to the same nesting area.

Signs You Need Professional Possum Pest Control
You may require expert possum removal if you notice:

Noises in your roof at night
Droppings in ceiling spaces
Strong odours from roof cavities
Visible entry points in roof gaps
Garden damage or overturned bins
Early inspection helps prevent structural damage and safety hazards.
