Possum Pest Control Sydney
Signs of Possum Infestation in Your Property
Noises from the Roof
You may have a possum infestation if you hear scuttling, pounding, or scratching noises coming from your attic or roof. Being nocturnal, possums generally wander around looking for food sources or shelter at night.
Possum Droppings
Possum droppings are another obvious sign of their presence on your property. They may be found in attic spaces, roof cavities, or around other access points. If you see the droppings, you should book a possum inspection to assess the extent of the infestation.
Building Damage
Possums can be a real menace to your property. With their sharp teeth, they chew on building materials, insulation, and electrical wiring, which might result in costly repairs. In their search for shelter, they can even rip through ceiling panels or demolish garden structures.
Unpleasant Odours
One of the things that come with a possum infestation is a strong and unpleasant smell. Possums commonly urinate and defecate in the interior areas of homes, like ceilings, walls, or attics. If you notice any bad or musty smell, it might indicate a possible possum infestation.

Ringtail Possum
The Ringtail Possum is another frequent species in Sydney. It is smaller than the Brushtail but has a unique long, bushy tail with a white tip. Ringtail possums are also nocturnal and use roof spaces, trees, or walls for shelter.
