When possums invade your property, they bring a mix of challenges. From nocturnal noises to property damage, these furry intruders can disrupt your peace and comfort.

With years of experience and a deep understanding of local regulations, we ensure your home or business is possum-free while complying with wildlife protection laws.
Why Possum Removal Is Essential
Possums may seem harmless at first glance, but they can quickly become a problem. Here are some reasons why prompt removal is crucial:
- Property Damage: Possums can tear insulation, chew wires, and damage structural elements in search of shelter.
- Health Risks: Possum droppings can harbor bacteria, posing health risks to humans and pets.
- Noise Disturbance: These nocturnal creatures are notorious for loud thumping and screeching sounds, especially during the night.
Gold Coast homeowners often encounter possums seeking refuge in roofs, sheds, or garages. Removing them promptly prevents further damage and restores peace of mind.
Our Humane Possum Removal Process
At Custom Pest Control, we prioritize both effectiveness and animal welfare. Here’s how our possum removal process works:
- Inspection and Identification: We conduct a thorough inspection of your property to locate possum entry points and nesting areas. Identifying the species is critical for a tailored approach.
- Setting Up Possum Traps: Using council-approved, humane traps, we safely capture possums without causing harm. Our traps are strategically placed based on possum behavior patterns.
- Relocation: Captured possums are relocated to a safe environment within the legally required distance, ensuring their well-being.
- Sealing Entry Points: We seal access points to prevent future infestations, using durable materials that withstand possum attempts to re-enter.
- Follow-Up Services: After removal, we offer advice on possum-proofing your property and provide follow-up checks if needed.
