Possums, while appearing harmless, pose potential threats you should address promptly.

• Protect Your Loved Ones: Possums can carry diseases, putting your kids and pets at risk. Their urine and feces can transmit infections, including:

• Buruli ulcer: A skin and soft tissue infection.

Tularemia: A bacterial infection causing fever, ulcers, and more; it can spread through contact with possums, ticks, or fleas.

Additionally, possums can introduce ticks and fleas, posing health hazards to your family.

• Safeguard Your Pets: Pets, sensitive to noise and odors, may become stressed due to possum activity in your attic. Their constant movement, screeching, and odors can distress your furry friends.
• Protect Your Property: Possums seek shelter in attics, ceiling voids, and rooftops, potentially damaging wiring, weatherboards, and plasterboard. Chewed wires may lead to power outages or even fires.
• Comply with Wildlife Laws: Possums are protected by the Wildlife Act 1975, making humane removal essential. Licensed rodent control experts possess the knowledge and equipment for legal and humane relocation.
