There is a process that must be followed to successfully remove possums.

Some parts of the process you will be able to do, hence reducing the costs. Other parts you will need the correct permits and traps to complete.

All our local Sydney techs are fully permitted and specially trained in possum removal.

Proofing of the entrance points is vital to any successful possum removal. During the inspection of the roof void, entrance points will be identified by our technicians.

They will highlight these points to you and give you options on what can be done. Some clients may choose to proof the holes themselves. Others will get a maintenance person in to seal the holes up.

Your local Jim’s technician can even offer temporary proofing until a more suitable permanent solution can be found.

Just be aware that even if the holes are sealed up, does not mean you will not get possums again. It is well known in the industry for possums to slide or lift tiles to gain access to roof voids.
