Possum in the Roof in Torquay? The Legal and Humane Way to Handle It
A heavy thump or slow movement across the ceiling at night can suggest a possum has entered the roof. The sound may be frustrating, but the response cannot be treated like ordinary rodent control. Possums are native wildlife and are protected in Victoria, so lawful identification and exclusion matter.
For Torquay homeowners, the most durable outcome is usually not “removal” in isolation. It is a careful process that gets the animal out, prevents it from being sealed inside and addresses the opening that allowed access.
