🔊 Noises in the Roof at Night
Loud scratching, banging, or scurrying sounds after dark are one of the clearest signs possums are nesting in your roof space.
Safe, licensed, and effective solutions by 711 Pest Control to keep possums away from your property.
 
At 711 Pest Control, we know how disruptive possums can be when they invade your roof, garden, or property. From loud noises at night to potential damage and contamination, possums can quickly turn into a real nuisance. Since possums are protected under Australian law, they must be handled humanely and professionally. That’s where our expert team comes in.
With years of experience and a licensed approach, we provide safe possum removal services that comply with all regulations. Whether you’re dealing with one stubborn possum or ongoing activity, we’re here to restore peace to your property—quickly, legally, and effectively.
Possums often go unnoticed until the damage is done. Here are the most reliable signs our experts say you should watch out for:
Loud scratching, banging, or scurrying sounds after dark are one of the clearest signs possums are nesting in your roof space.
Persistent smells from possum droppings or urine can spread through ceilings, walls, and vents, creating unhealthy living conditions.
Broken roof tiles, torn insulation, and chewed electrical wires are tell-tale signs of possums forcing their way indoors.
Possum droppings in the attic, garden, or near roof entry points are a red flag that they’ve taken up residence.
If you spot a possum on your roof, fence, or garden at dusk, chances are high they’re already living inside your property.
If you recognise any of these signs, don’t wait — contact 711 Pest Control today for a professional possum inspection and safe removal.
We begin with a full inspection of your roof, attic, and surrounding areas to identify entry points, nesting spots, and possum activity. This allows us to design the safest and most effective removal plan.
When relocation is needed, we install durable possum boxes on your property. These provide a safe and legal alternative shelter, guiding possums away from your roof and into a more natural habitat.
Our specialists are fully licensed to handle possum removal under Australian wildlife laws. We carefully trap and relocate possums without causing harm, ensuring they are safely placed in an approved environment.
After removal, we professionally seal off all access points such as roof gaps, broken tiles, and vents. This prevents possums from returning and protects your property long-term.
Dead possums can create serious odour and health issues. We provide safe removal, deep cleaning, and odour control to restore a hygienic, fresh, and pest-free living environment.

Possums may look harmless, but leaving them unchecked can create serious problems for your property and family. Here’s why it’s important to act quickly:
Possums often chew electrical wiring, tear insulation, and damage timber frames. Left untreated, these repairs can quickly become expensive.
Possum droppings and urine contain harmful bacteria and parasites that can spread diseases and trigger allergies in your household.
Scratching, thumping, and squealing noises at night—combined with strong odours—can disturb your sleep and affect your daily wellbeing.
Possums are protected under Australian law. Attempting DIY removal or harming them can lead to heavy fines and penalties.
Ignoring the problem only makes it worse. Without professional removal and proofing, possums will return and multiply, causing ongoing issues.
