Possum Removal Brisbane – Humane Possum Control by Shieldmate Cleaning and Pest

Looking for fast, safe, and humane possum removal in Brisbane? Shieldmate Cleaning and Pest is your local expert in effective possum control. We offer same-day, licensed possum removal services across Brisbane—protecting your property and keeping native wildlife safe.

Why Possum Removal in Brisbane Is Essential

Brisbane’s leafy suburbs and warm climate make it an ideal environment for possums—particularly the common brushtail and ringtail possums. While they may seem cute, once possums invade your roof, garage, or wall cavities, they become a major nuisance. They can cause:

• Noisy scratching and screeching sounds at night
  
• Strong, unpleasant odours from droppings and urine
  
• Damage to insulation, wires, and ducting
  
• Potential health risks from parasites and allergens
  

Possums are protected under Queensland law, so DIY removal is illegal unless you’re licensed. That’s where we come in.

At Shieldmate Cleaning and Pest, our Brisbane possum removal team is fully licensed, trained, and experienced in humane possum trapping, relocation, and prevention.

Our Expert Possum Removal Services in Brisbane

We take a comprehensive approach to possum control that doesn’t just remove the pest—it prevents them from coming back.

🛠 1. Inspection and Identification

Our team begins with a thorough inspection of your property, especially the roof space, gutters, vents, and tree access points. We identify:

• Entry and exit points
  
• Type of possum (usually brushtail or ringtail)
  
• Damage caused
  
• Nesting or den locations
  

🪤 2. Humane Trapping and Removal

Shieldmate uses government-approved, humane traps to catch and safely remove possums. Our methods are:

• 100% legal and ethical
  
• Safe for your family and pets
  
• Stress-free for the animal
  

We relocate possums within 50 metres of the capture site, as required by Queensland Wildlife regulations.

🛡 3. Possum Proofing Your Property

Possum removal is only part of the solution. We also carry out professional possum-proofing to prevent future invasions, such as:

• Sealing roof gaps and broken tiles
  
• Installing one-way possum exits
  
• Fitting possum-proof gutter guards and vent covers
  
• Pruning overhanging branches and trimming access routes
  

📋 4. Documentation and Follow-Up

After removal and sealing, we provide:

• Compliance documentation (required by QLD law)
  
• Photos of damage and repair work
  
• Follow-up checks, if needed

DIY Possum Removal – Is It Legal?

No. In Queensland, it is illegal to trap or relocate a possum without a licence. The law is strict to ensure possums are not harmed or displaced from their territory. Penalties for illegal removal can be significant.

That’s why you should always rely on a licensed possum remover like Shieldmate Cleaning and Pest.

Possum-Proofing Tips for Brisbane Homes

While we always recommend a professional inspection, here are some tips to reduce possum intrusions:

• Trim branches within 2–3 metres of your roof
  
• Cover vents and chimneys with mesh
  
• Repair broken tiles or fascia gaps
  
• Avoid leaving pet food outside at night
  
• Keep garden trees tidy and well-pruned
