4.9 Martin Pest Control Melbourne · 200+ Google reviewsStop the roof noise and close the way back in
Households and businesses can request humane possum removal in Narre Warren 3805. The assigned licensed technician assesses the noise, droppings and accessible entry evidence before recommending a lawful method. Where a one-way exit is suitable, the active route is managed and agreed secondary openings are proofed so the animal is not simply shifted to another gap. Exclusion decisions also consider garage-to-house junctions.
The site assessment and call-out are free. You receive a clear written fixed-price scope before work starts, with the proposed timing explained after the roof and animal activity have been assessed. Agreed treated vulnerable openings carry a two-year proofing warranty. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
What should you do if there is a possum in the roof?
Keep people and pets away if the animal reaches a room. Do not use poison, smoke or mothballs. Note when the noise starts and call for an inspection so the species, possible dependent young and safe access can be checked. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.

Is a possum living in your Narre Warren roof?
A possum usually sounds heavier than a rat. Activity often begins around dusk, but the sound can move as the animal travels between a roof edge, nesting area and nearby tree or fence. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Heavy movement after dark
Firm thumps, slower footsteps, a sudden run or low growling above a bedroom are common reasons people call. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Droppings or a musky smell
Pellets near a veranda, gutter or travel route, together with a persistent animal smell, can indicate an established den. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Movement near tiles or eaves
A lifted tile, damaged fascia, vent or gap beside a gutter can provide access. Watch only from ground level at dusk. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Why local building details change the service plan
In Narre Warren, the initial inspection may involve established homes near the centre, large suburban houses, townhouses and newer estates. reserves, drainage corridors, planted streets and expanding residential areas beside major commercial zones can give a possum several routes between feeding areas and a sheltered roof. The likely entry point is not always directly above the room where the noise is heard, because sound travels through ceiling and wall cavities. Exclusion decisions also consider garage-to-house junctions.
The service technician considers garage-to-house junctions, tiled roofs, eaves, service penetrations, sheds and roof sections altered by later work. A branch near one gutter may explain roof access, while the actual den opening may be on another elevation. Renovations and shared roof edges require a whole-roof view before an exclusion point is chosen. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Mixed property layouts
The plan must suit established homes near the centre, large suburban houses, townhouses and newer estates, not a generic floor plan. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Likely access zones
Inspection focuses on garage-to-house junctions, tiled roofs, eaves, service penetrations, sheds and roof sections altered by later work. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Residential and commercial
major retail, restaurants, offices, warehouses, schools and busy rental properties can need different access, reporting and treatment arrangements. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Narre Warren includes private homes, rentals and managed commercial sites. Clear treatment records and proofing priorities help each property type act on the same evidence without avoidable repeat confusion. Exclusion decisions also consider garage-to-house junctions.
How professional possum removal works
A quick cover over one hole can trap an animal or leave another opening available. The service technician first assesses the roof and activity, then explains the suitable method and expected timing for that property. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Discuss the activity
We note the affected rooms, time of noise, sightings and any previous sealing or trapping.
Inspect accessible areas
The roof edge, tiles, eaves, gutters and safe roof-void areas are checked for animal and entry evidence.
Identify the likely species
Sound weight, droppings, nesting material and routes help separate possum activity from rats, birds or other causes.
Plan a humane exit
Where suitable, a purpose-built one-way door lets the possum leave through its active route without returning through it. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Proof agreed openings
Secondary gaps may be secured with galvanised mesh, flashing, tile clips or materials suited to the roof.
Confirm and document
The service technician explains follow-up timing, final closure, photos where practical and the two-year treated-entry warranty.
Possums are protected wildlife, even when they enter a roof
Identification matters because a possum cannot be treated like a rat. Victorian rules allow limited management of a Common Brushtail Possum living in a building, while a Common Ringtail Possum has different restrictions. The method must also account for dependent young. Sealing a mother outside while a joey remains in the roof is inhumane and can create a second problem. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
The Victorian Government provides guidance on managing possums around buildings, including one-way flaps and reducing roof access. A technician still needs to decide whether those measures suit the actual building and activity. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Relocation to another suburb is not the normal solution
Where trapping rules apply to a Common Brushtail Possum living in a building, release conditions are strict and focus on the same property. A lawful exclusion and proofing plan avoids the false promise that an urban possum can simply be taken far away. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
What can possum removal cost?
These ranges are a practical guide from the business’s published possum service information. The written fixed-price scope depends on safe roof access, the confirmed active route, the number of secondary openings and the materials needed. The site assessment and call-out are free. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
May suit a smaller property with one confirmed route and straightforward access.
Often covers inspection, a suitable one-way exit and agreed secondary proofing for a standard home.
May apply where access, multiple levels or several openings require more time and materials.
These are guide ranges, not a quote. Electrical, structural, solar or major roofing work is outside ordinary pest proofing unless specifically included. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Prepare access, but leave the suspected opening alone
Before the appointment, clear boxes or furniture below the manhole if this can be done safely. Tell the pest professional about fragile ceilings, known asbestos, damaged tiles, solar equipment or electrical concerns. There is no need for an occupant to enter the roof or climb a ladder. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Keep a simple activity note. Record the room, time, duration and weight of the sound, plus any ground-level view of a possum approaching the building. If several people hear different areas, write each observation separately. The pattern may show a travel route through the roof rather than several animals. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
- Do not seal tiles, vents or eaves before the animal is identified
- Keep pets inside while dusk routes are being observed
- Share photographs of droppings, fur or damaged roof details
- Mention old traps, mothballs, smoke or other attempted deterrents
- Arrange owner approval if the inspected address is rented or shared
- Leave solar and electrical components to licensed trades
Proofing, maintenance and the written warranty
The quoted job should identify the active exit, secondary openings to be treated and any roof areas that cannot be included. Photos can document completed points where access and visibility allow. The two-year warranty applies to treated openings listed in that scope, not to every future change across the building. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Storm damage, later renovations, new service penetrations and falling branches can create different openings. Check the roof after major weather or building work and contact the business if activity returns near a treated point. That makes the warranty easier to assess and avoids guessing which part of the roof has changed. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Around a Narre Warren home, secure rubbish, collect fallen fruit and avoid leaving pet food outside overnight. Safe branch pruning can remove a direct bridge, although a possum may still reach a roof by fence, pergola or cable. These steps support professional exclusion; they do not replace closing the identified building entry. Exclusion decisions also consider garage-to-house junctions.
Possum Removal questions from Narre Warren customers
Can you remove a possum in one visit?
The service technician inspects first and explains the suitable method and expected timing. A one-way device may need to remain until activity checks indicate the roof is clear, so a fixed visit count is not promised. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Does the two-year warranty cover the whole roof?
It covers treated vulnerable openings included in the agreed proofing scope. The quote should identify those areas and any exclusions, such as storm damage, later building work or untouched openings. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
Do you charge for the initial inspection?
No. The initial inspection and call-out are free, and an itemised written fixed-price scope is provided before agreed work begins. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.

Is possum removal legal in Narre Warren?
Yes, when the method follows Victorian wildlife rules and suits the identified species. Possums are protected, so poisoning or unapproved relocation is not an acceptable shortcut. Exclusion also considers garage-to-house junctions.
