Possum Removal
Princes Hill

The housing stock in Princes Hill is dominated by Edwardian and interwar era homes, a building period that produced properties with distinctive roofline characteristics that create specific possum entry vulnerabilities. Hipped roofs with multiple valley junctions, timber framed eaves and fascia boards that have dried and contracted over decades, terracotta tiles that shift and crack with age, and original verandah rooflines with open eave sections are all features that Alpha Pest Control encounters consistently during Princes Hill inspections. These properties are often well maintained and visually in good condition, but surface presentation does not always reflect what is happening at the roofline level where possums are actually gaining entry. The inspection Alpha Pest Control carries out at every Princes Hill job specifically targets these period building vulnerabilities, identifying access points that are not always visible from ground level and that homeowners are often unaware of until the inspection brings them to light.

Every possum removal job Alpha Pest Control completes in Princes Hill follows the same structured approach. The inspection covers the full interior of the roof space and the complete exterior of the property, mapping every active and potential entry point before any trapping begins. This thoroughness at the inspection stage is what determines the quality of the proofing outcome. Traps are set based on inspection findings and monitored within 24 hours. Once the possum is safely captured and relocated, all identified entry points are sealed using materials appropriate to the construction style and age of the Princes Hill property. The team provides a written summary at the end of every job that covers what was found, what work was completed, and any observations about the property that the owner or manager should be aware of for ongoing maintenance purposes.

If you are curious to know and understand these furry little creatures that keep paying you a visit every now and then, you are in the right place. Even though possums are troublesome, they are creatures that must be dealt with respect. At Alpha Pest Control, we are here to tell you more about these small and furry animals so you can deal with them in a better way.

Possums are marsupials that are renowned for their versatility. Because of their long, agile tails and sharp claws, which enable them to access your roof or trees, they are adept climbers. Possums are omnivores who eat a wide variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, insects, and even small rodents. Thus, it should come as no surprise if you discover them digging through your garden or trash.

They are nocturnal, meaning that they are active during the night.
