Possums in Perth

Possums are a common nuisance pest in Perth, particularly in residential areas surrounded by trees and bushland. While native possums are protected under Australian law, they can cause significant disturbance and damage when they take up residence in roof spaces, sheds, or wall cavities.

These nocturnal animals are known for their loud movements, scratching, and unpleasant odours. Their droppings can also pose health risks, and their nesting habits often damage insulation, wiring, and roofing materials.

Signs of a Possum Problem

You may have a possum in your roof or property if you notice:

• Loud thumping, scratching, or scurrying noises at night

• Unpleasant odours from urine or droppings

• Roof insulation damage or debris near entry points

• Droppings or stains around roof voids, eaves, or ceiling spaces

• Sounds of hissing or growling, particularly after dark
