Professional Possum Removal Services in Sydney
Legal possum removal complying with NSW wildlife protection laws. Live trapping and relocation by licensed operators. Stop ceiling noise, damage, and odors with humane possum solutions.
Licensed, Humane Possum Removal & Relocation
Possums are protected native wildlife in Australia requiring licensed, humane removal methods. Common brushtail possums frequently inhabit roof spaces, causing noise, odor, damage to insulation and wiring, and disturbance at night. Professional removal requires specialized licenses and compliance with strict regulations.
Pest Labs is fully licensed for possum removal across Sydney. Our humane approach includes live trapping, temporary relocation within legal distances, and complete property proofing, preventing possums from returning. We comply with all NSW wildlife protection regulations while solving your possum problems.
The Possum Proofing Process: Guaranteed Exclusion
Possum removal involves multiple steps over several days. First, we install one-way exit doors allowing possums to leave but not return. After possums have vacated (usually 3-5 nights), we seal all entry points using materials possums cannot chew through. We also provide nest boxes, encouraging possums to relocate to appropriate outdoor areas.
Our possum proofing is comprehensive, sealing entry points in rooflines, vents, broken tiles, and gaps. We use materials specifically designed to resist possum attempts to regain entry. Our work is warranted – if possums return through sealed areas, we return and fix issues at no charge.
Sydney’s fully licensed possum removal specialists provide legal, humane solutions. Pest Labs understands NSW possum removal regulations and holds all required licenses for trapping, temporary relocation, and release operations. Our methods are proven effective and fully compliant.
We don’t just trap possums – we solve possum problems permanently through comprehensive property proofing. Trapping without sealing entry points simply allows new possums to move in. Our complete service ensures your possum problems are solved for good.

FAQs
Possum Removal & Control Services in Sydney
How much does possum removal cost in Sydney?
Professional possum removal costs $350-$750 depending on property size, number of entry points, and proofing requirements. Includes inspection, one-way door installation, entry point sealing, and follow-up verification. Additional costs for nest boxes ($80-$150) and damage repair if required. Live trapping, if necessary, costs $200-$300 extra. Complete service ensures possums don’t return.
Is possum removal legal in NSW?
Possums are protected wildlife in NSW. Removal requires specific licenses issued by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Licensed operators can trap and temporarily relocate possums within limited distances from capture locations. Property owners cannot legally trap or relocate possums themselves. Always use licensed professionals for legal possum removal.
How long does possum removal take?
The complete process takes 5-10 days. Initial visit includes inspection and one-way door installation (1-2 hours). Possums exit over 3-5 nights. Follow-up visit seals all entry points and removes doors (2-4 hours). We confirm successful exclusion before finalizing. Longer timelines may be needed if possums are reluctant to leave or if babies are present.
What if possums have babies in my roof?
Possum breeding season (April-November) requires special considerations. If babies are present, we wait until they’re independent before final exclusion. Separating mothers from babies is illegal and inhumane. We time removal carefully, ensuring family groups exit together. This may extend the process but ensures compliance with wildlife protection laws.
How do I know if possums are in my roof?
Common signs include: loud thumping or scratching sounds at night, brown staining on ceilings from urine, strong musty smell, especially during warm weather, damaged insulation or wiring in roof space, and possums visible on the roof or in trees near the house at night. If you suspect possums, call for professional inspection and legal removal.
