Why Do Reservoir Properties Have Possum Problems?
Reservoir’s possum activity reflects the suburb’s scale — it is the City of Darebin’s largest suburb by population and area, and possum issues are correspondingly widespread across the many property types and construction eras represented throughout the suburb. Darebin Creek’s eastern boundary provides the primary possum corridor into Reservoir’s residential streets — creek-side vegetation sustains a significant brushtail population that moves along connected tree canopy from the creek edge into suburban rooflines throughout the eastern half of the suburb. Reservoir contains a number of significant local reserves — Edwardes Lake Park, Preston Market surrounds, and various creek-linked open spaces — that provide additional possum habitat and secondary movement corridors throughout the suburb. The suburb’s housing stock is predominantly post-war brick veneer from the 1950s through to the 1970s, with a significant proportion of the stock now aged enough to have developed natural roof entry points. Open eave cavities, displaced soffit lining, and fascia board gaps are the most common entry types across Reservoir’s housing. Reservoir’s scale and high rental density — a large number of rental properties throughout the suburb — mean that possum entry in vacant rental properties regularly goes undetected, allowing roof void occupation and associated damage to become established before anyone reports it.
Possum Removal Services in Reservoir
Alpha Pest Control provides the following possum removal and proofing services in Reservoir. All work is carried out by experienced technicians in line with Victorian wildlife regulations.
-
01
Possum Trapping and Relocation
Humane cage traps set at the identified entry point or along confirmed possum travel routes on your Reservoir property. Trap checked within 24 hours. Possum relocated to suitable habitat within 50 metres as required under the Wildlife Act 1975. Trapping is always combined with entry-point sealing — without sealing, re-entry in Reservoir is expected given the sustained creek and reserve corridor possum pressure across the City of Darebin.
-
02
Roof Void and Subfloor Inspection
Full inspection of the roof void, eave perimeter, subfloor where applicable, and external roofline before any work begins on your Reservoir property. All active entry points identified and photographed. Findings shared with the property owner before the sealing scope is confirmed — no work starts without you knowing what was found and why it needs sealing.
-
03
Same-Night Emergency Possum Removal
Same-night emergency response available across all of Reservoir for possums in living areas, possums causing immediate structural damage, or urgent situations requiring same-night resolution. Call 1300 257 421 for same-night bookings in Reservoir.
-
04
Dead Possum Removal
Dead possums in roof voids, wall cavities, and subfloors located and removed across Reservoir. Entry point sealed after removal to prevent further occupation. Roof void odour treatment available for properties where possum occupation has been established long enough to cause urine saturation of insulation.

05
Possum Proofing — Entry Point Sealing
Possum proofing in Reservoir covers the widest range of property types of any suburb in the City of Darebin — from smaller post-war homes in the suburb’s older established precincts to larger blocks in its northern sections, with a mix of brick veneer, weatherboard, and more recent construction across the suburb’s extent. The most common entry-point types across Reservoir’s post-war housing stock are open eave cavities behind displaced or deteriorated soffit lining, fascia board gaps at eave junctions, and ridge capping mortar failures in older terracotta tile rooflines. For creek-adjacent properties along Darebin Creek’s eastern boundary, Alpha Pest Control recommends full-perimeter possum proofing — the creek corridor possum pressure is sustained year-round and partial sealing in the creek zone results in continued entry attempts. Rental properties throughout Reservoir benefit from possum proofing inspection at each tenancy change — identifying and sealing entry points during vacancy is the most cost-effective approach to preventing possum occupation in the subsequent tenancy.
