Once the roof is sealed, a possum that used to live there will still visit the yard. It remembers the fruit trees, the veggie patch and the paths along the fence line. Garden possum deterrents in Springwood make the yard less inviting and cut off the routes possums use to reach the roof.

The crew we book walks the yard with you and looks at it the way a possum would. Branches that hang over the roof, trees close to the gutters, trellises against the wall and fences that meet the eaves are all ways up. Sheds and carports with low roofs can also act as a step up onto the house. The crew suggests what to trim or move and can fit guards to make climbing harder.

  • Metal tree collars to stop possums climbing trunks
  • Pointing out branches to trim back from the roof
  • Guards on pergolas, trellis and fence posts near the house
  • Deterrent sprays for plants that possums keep eating
  • Tips on fruit, pet food and compost bins

Deterrents do not remove possums, and they will not stop every visit. What they do is make your home harder to reach and less rewarding, so a possum is more likely to move on to somewhere easier. Trimming branches to about a metre or more from the roof line is one of the simplest things you can do. Deterrents work well alongside roof proofing.

Leafy yards with big gum trees are common across Springwood, so this is a popular add-on to a removal job, and many people book it on the same visit as proofing. To book, call 07 3543 7768 and we will give you an upfront price.

Garden Possum Deterrents FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Garden Possum Deterrents

Questions we hear most often about Garden Possum Deterrents in Springwood.

Talk to a real person
How do I tell if it is a possum or a rat in my roof?
Possums are heavy, so you usually hear thumping and running, mostly after dark and again just before dawn. Rats make lighter, quicker scratching sounds and are often busy right through the night. Possum droppings are larger pellets, around one to two centimetres long, while rat droppings look like dark grains of rice. The crew we book can check if you are unsure.
Why do possums move into roofs?
A roof space is dry, dark and warm, much like a hollow in an old tree. In suburbs like Springwood, many of the big old trees with hollows have been cleared over the years, so possums look for the next closest thing. A lifted tile or a gap at the eaves gives them an easy way in, and once inside, they tend to stay.
What damage can a possum do in a roof?
Possum urine soaks into ceiling plaster and insulation, leaving yellow or brown stains and a strong smell. Droppings build up over time. Possums can also chew on wiring, squash insulation and push tiles out of place as they come and go. The longer one stays in the roof, the bigger the clean-up tends to be.
How does roof proofing work?
Proofing means closing the ways a possum can get in. The crew checks the roof line from the ground and from inside the roof space, then seals gaps with galvanised mesh, metal flashing or sealant, depending on the spot. Common spots are the ridge, the eaves, gaps near gutters and the places where two roof sections meet.
Why is there a bad smell in my ceiling?
A strong smell in the ceiling is often possum urine that has soaked into the insulation or plaster. It can also come from a dead animal, such as a possum or rat, in the roof or a wall cavity. In warm Queensland weather, the smell from a dead animal gets worse quickly. The crew we book can find the source.
