3. Understanding Possum Behavior
• Nocturnal Animals: Possums are primarily active during the night, using their excellent night vision to navigate and forage for food.
• Omnivorous Diet: Possums have a varied diet, consisting of fruits, leaves, flowers, insects, small animals, and even garbage. They are
opportunistic feeders.
• Arboreal Creatures: Possums are skilled climbers and spend a significant amount of time in trees, using their prehensile tails to aid in
balance and movement.
• Property Damage: Possums can cause significant damage to properties by gnawing on electrical wires, wooden structures, and
insulation materials. They may also tear apart gardens and landscaping features while searching for food.
• Noise Disturbances: Their nighttime activities, including movements on roofs and inside wall cavities, can cause loud noises that
disturb the sleep and peace of occupants.

to possum entry. We look for gaps, cracks, holes, and damaged areas that possums may use to gain access to the
property.

nesting materials, and feces. We inspect attics, wall cavities, roof spaces, and other potential nesting sites.

activity, such as droppings, urine stains, and nesting materials.

components. This helps identify areas that require repair or replacement.
• Structural Integrity: We emphasize the importance of repairing and reinforcing damaged areas to maintain the
structural integrity of the property. This includes repairing damaged roof tiles, sealing holes in walls, and fixing
chewed or compromised insulation.
• Preventing Re-entry: By promptly repairing possum-induced damage, we reduce the likelihood of possums re-
entering the property or attracting new possums seeking the same entry points.
