Once a possum has been out of the roof, it often stays nearby. Possums live in the trees around many homes in Redland, and they will keep coming back to a yard that offers easy food and an easy climb onto the house. Garden possum deterrents make your yard and roof less inviting, so the possum spends its time elsewhere.
The crew we book walks the yard and looks at how a possum is getting from the trees to the roof. They check branches that touch the roof or gutters, vines on walls and fences, and power lines or pergolas that lead to the eaves. They also look at what is drawing the possum in, such as fruit trees, vegetable gardens or pet food left out overnight.

Deterrents work well alongside roof proofing, since they reduce how often a possum tests the roofline. On their own, they will not keep a possum out of a roof that still has gaps, and the crew will tell you honestly if proofing is the better place to start.
You get an upfront price for the visit and for any items fitted, and the crew will talk you through the options before anything goes up. To book a garden possum deterrent visit in Redland, call 07 3543 7769 and tell us about the trees and gardens around your home.
