Possum Removal & Control Newcastle
Possums in your roof mean sleepless nights, stained ceilings and damaged wiring. But possums are protected native wildlife in NSW — they must be removed and managed lawfully and humanely. Universal provides compliant possum removal and control, using exclusion and proofing so possums can leave but not re-enter.
Signs you may have possums
- Heavy thumping & scurrying in roof at night
- Droppings in roof void
- Stained or damaged ceilings
- Chewed wiring
- Entry gaps in roof/eaves
Why possums becomes a problem
Possums urinate and defecate in roof voids, staining and damaging ceilings. They chew wiring and insulation. Because they're territorial, removing one without proofing simply invites another to take its place.
