Adelaide Possum Control
Possums may look harmless, but when they invade homes or businesses they can cause major problems. Their nesting habits often lead to damage in roof voids, insulation, and wiring—creating costly repairs, electrical issues, and potential fire hazards. Possums can also spread diseases through their droppings, posing risks to families and pets.
For over 30 years, EcoPest Group’s Adelaide possum control experts have delivered safe and humane possum control solutions. As possums are a protected species in South Australia, we use only ethical methods to remove and rehome them without harm—protecting homes, families, and businesses while ensuring native wildlife remains safeguarded

Our Possum Control Process
1. Roof Inspection
This is where we shine, we will perform a thorough roof inspection, where we will identify possum entry points and provide a quote to seal the entry points with possum proof materials along with the most appropriate method to get them out of the roof space.
2. Client Brief
All inspection findings will be discussed in detail along with expected out comes, A quote will be emailed highlighting all fixed costs and methods.
3. Possum Proofing
Once our quote is accepted, our possum-proofing expert will seal all possum entry points, preventing future possums from re-entering your roof.
4. Possum Trapping
At the same time as possum proofing, your assigned possum guru will set possum traps in your roof void or install one way exit door over entry points and monitor them with cameras until they are all out. We keep monitoring the traps until no more possums are caught.
5. Rodent Control
It is common for rodents to invade roof spaces with or after possums. We will bait the roof void with rodent baits, ensuring rats and mice don’t move in. The rodent baits we use have a low secondary poisoning rating, so if wild animals or pets eat a rodent that has been poisoned, they will be safe from the poison.
6. Possum Box
Possums often end up in roof voids due to a lack of natural homes in suburban areas. If you want to give possums a home in your yard and have a suitable location, we can install a possum box.
