    Unfolding the Possum Problem In Somersby

    Possums are common in Somersby, and while they’re protected under Australian law,  they can become a real nuisance when they invade homes or buildings. These animals often find shelter in roof spaces, causing damage to insulation and wiring, and leaving behind a musky odour.

    Here at Possum Ranger, we specialise in humane handling of problematic animals in Somersby. Due to their protected status in Australia, there are strict laws surrounding the removal and relocation of most native fauna.

    Our Possum Removal Somersby and Rodent Control Somersby services ensure compliance with these regulations while providing effective solutions

    All of our technicians are highly skilled and trained to comply with all Government regulations.

    We can come out to your Somersby home or business today and install possum traps to get them out! Once we’ve proofed the building to ensure they cannot come back, we will relocate them out of your ceiling space.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Possums are highly territorial, and relocating them too far from their home can be fatal. They may struggle to find food, face attacks from resident possums, or fall prey to predators. By law, possums must be released within 25-150 meters of where they were captured to ensure their survival and prevent territorial conflicts.

    The removal process typically involves:

    • Trimming overhanging trees to remove easy roof access
    • Sealing gaps and entry points in your roof
    • Installing a nesting box as an alternative shelter

    Most cases are resolved within a few days, but if multiple possums are present or there are several entry points, multiple visits may be needed.

    Possums often access roofs via trees, fences, and power lines. To prevent them from using your roof as a walkway:

    • Trim tree branches so they are at least 2 meters away from your roof.
    • Install possum-proof barriers on fences, poles, and gutters.
    • Secure food sources like garbage bins, pet food, and fruit trees.

    No. Feeding possums may seem kind, but it can cause serious problems:

    • Encourages possums to enter homes searching for food.
    • Increases territorial fights, leading to injuries.
    • Can cause digestive issues (human food and processed fruit aren’t part of their natural diet).

    To deter possums from your yard:

    • Trim fruit trees and remove fallen fruit.
    • Plant possum-repelling plants like lavender, mint, or rosemary.
    • Install motion-sensor lights to scare off nocturnal activity.
    • Block entry points under decks, sheds, or roofs to prevent nesting.

    Licensed professionals use safe and humane trapping techniques that comply with wildlife laws. The process includes:

    • Assessing the property to confirm possum activity.
    • Using cage traps that minimize stress and injury.
    • Releasing the possum within 25-150 meters of capture, as required by law.
