Sutherland Shire & Sydney
Licensed possum management for homes and businesses across the Sutherland Shire. Humane, NSW-compliant removal with fast response times for local properties.
Possums are a familiar sight across the Sutherland Shire — and while they are a protected native species, they can cause real problems when they take up residence in your roof void, ceiling, or commercial building.
The bush-adjacent streets of Engadine, Menai, and Gymea, along with the older housing stock found throughout Cronulla, Caringbah, and Miranda, create ideal conditions for common brushtail and ringtail possums to nest inside roof cavities. Warm, sheltered, and close to food — your home or business can look very attractive to a possum looking for a nesting site.
Possums are protected under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. They cannot be harmed, killed, or relocated more than 50 metres from their capture site without an appropriate licence. Always use a licensed technician for possum management.
Where required, live cage traps are set in appropriate locations. Traps are checked regularly and possums are handled and released in accordance with NSW wildlife regulations — within 50 metres of the capture point, into suitable habitat.
Our possum management services are suited to a wide range of residential and commercial properties across the Sutherland Shire.
Whether you are in a freestanding home in Engadine, a unit in Miranda, or a townhouse near Cronulla, we understand how disruptive a possum in the roof can be.
Possums in commercial buildings can disrupt operations, raise hygiene concerns, and create compliance issues. We provide discreet, scheduled possum management solutions.
We are locally based and focused on the Sutherland Shire. We know the area, the local wildlife pressures, and the types of properties that commonly experience possum problems — from the bushy streets of Engadine to the coastal homes around Cronulla.
We also service Sydney metropolitan areas. If your suburb is not listed, contact us to confirm availability.
Yes, but it must be carried out by a licensed technician. Possums are protected under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, meaning they cannot be harmed or killed. Licensed removal involves humane trapping and release within 50 metres of the capture site, as per NSW regulations.
The most common signs are loud thumping, scratching, or movement noises in the ceiling — particularly at night when possums are active. You may also notice a strong ammonia-like odour from the roof void, or visible entry points around the roofline such as damaged eaves or gaps in fascia boards.
Because NSW regulations require possums to be released within 50 metres of capture, there is a risk of return if entry points are not sealed. Proofing the identified entry points is an important follow-up step that we advise on as part of our service.
