Our Possum Removal Process
At Custom Pest Control, we follow a well-structured process for possum removal to ensure both the safety of the animals and the protection of your property. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when you choose our team for possum removal in Adelaide:
Inspection and Assessment
Our first step is to conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify any potential entry points. We’ll check your roof, under-deck areas, backyard, and other possible hiding spots to determine the extent of the infestation.
Humane Possum Trapping
Once we’ve identified the problem areas, we use safe, humane traps to capture the possum(s) without causing harm. Our traps are strategically placed in locations where the possums are most likely to enter, ensuring a quick and efficient capture.
Relocation and Release
After catching the possum, we ensure it’s relocated to an area far from your property, in compliance with local possum laws. We adhere to all wildlife regulations to ensure the possum’s safe release into a suitable habitat.
Prevention Measures
To avoid future possum invasions, we offer preventative measures such as sealing entry points, installing possum boxes, and providing advice on how to make your home less attractive to these animals. We also help you with ongoing monitoring to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
Emergency Possum Removal
If you discover a possum in your roof, under your deck, or anywhere else inside your home, we offer emergency possum removal services. Our team is available 24/7 to assist with urgent situations, ensuring that the possum is safely removed without further damage to your property.

Our team is trained to safely remove the carcass, sanitize the area, and seal any potential entry points to prevent future issues. We take every precaution to eliminate the source of the odor and ensure your home is safe and hygienic.
Possum Prevention – Keep Your Home Safe
Preventing possum infestations is just as important as removing them. At Custom Pest Control, we don’t just focus on removing the possum, but also on stopping future problems before they start. Our prevention services include:
- Sealing Entry Points: We identify and seal gaps, holes, or cracks in your roof, walls, and other structures where possums can gain entry.
- Installing Possum Boxes: A possum box provides a safe alternative for possums to nest in, keeping them away from your roof and under deck areas.
- Landscaping Adjustments: Overhanging branches and dense foliage can attract possums to your property. We’ll provide tips on how to trim your trees and shrubs to reduce the risk of possums entering your home.
- Lighting and Deterrents: Possums are nocturnal creatures, and bright lights or specific deterrents can discourage them from approaching your home.
By taking a proactive approach to possum prevention, we help ensure that possums won’t return to your property in the future.
