Understanding Possum Behaviour
Possums are nocturnal, arboreal marsupials known for their adaptability to urban environments, our most common species are the Brushtail and Ringtail Possum. They are primarily active at night, foraging for food like fruits, leaves, and insects. Possums will leave your property via our one way exits, and not be able to re enter in the morning. Possums are territorial and often seek shelter in roof spaces, attics, or trees. They are known for their ability to live in close proximity to humans, which sometimes leads to significant noise disturbance, bad odours, stains on ceilings, damage to roofs and also electrical wiring. Possums are protected by law, so humane removal methods such as our one way exits are essential for removing them safely and effectively.
