Whether you’re dealing with possums in your roof, rats in your ceiling or mice inside your home, Gotcha Possum Control provides safe, effective and long-lasting solutions. Our experienced team uses humane possum removal methods and professional rodent control techniques to protect your home while preventing future infestations.

If you’re hearing unusual noises in your roof or have noticed signs of unwanted wildlife around your property, it’s important to act quickly. Possums, rats and mice can cause significant damage to insulation, electrical wiring and roof cavities if left untreated. Below are some of the most common signs that it’s time to call a professional.

• Scratching or running noises in the roof – Hearing activity at night is often one of the first signs that possums or rodents have entered your roof space.
• Droppings or strong odours – Animal droppings, urine and unpleasant smells in your roof cavity or ceiling can indicate an active infestation.
• Damage to insulation or electrical wiring – Rodents frequently chew insulation and wiring, creating expensive damage and potential fire hazards.
• Visible entry points – Broken roof tiles, damaged ridge capping, loose flashing and gaps in eaves provide easy access for possums and rodents.
• Seeing possums or rodents around your property – Regular sightings, particularly around your roof or at night, may indicate they have made your home their nesting place.

If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, Gotcha Possum Control provides fast, humane possum removal, professional rodent control and long-lasting roof proofing throughout Melbourne’s South East, Gippsland and Warragul.

Keeping your home well maintained can significantly reduce the risk of possums and rodents entering your roof or ceiling. While professional removal and roof proofing are the most effective long-term solutions, these simple tips can help make your property less attractive to unwanted wildlife.

• Seal potential entry points – Regularly inspect your roof for broken tiles, damaged ridge capping, loose flashing and gaps in eaves where possums or rodents may gain access.
• Trim overhanging tree branches – Trees that touch or overhang your roof provide possums with an easy pathway into your home. Keeping branches trimmed can reduce the risk of roof access.
• Secure food sources – Keep rubbish bins tightly sealed, store pet food securely and clean up fallen fruit or food scraps that may attract rodents.
• Keep your property tidy – Remove piles of timber, rubbish and overgrown vegetation where rodents can hide or build nests.
• Arrange a professional roof inspection – If you hear scratching noises, notice droppings or suspect animals have entered your roof, having your property inspected early can prevent more serious damage and costly repairs.
