do i need Possum Proofing?
Hearing scratching, thumping or movement in your roof at night? Possums could be using your roof space as a place to shelter. While the noise is often the first thing you notice, unwanted possum activity can also mean urine, droppings and unpleasant odours around your property.
At Urban Pest & Termite Solutions, we provide professional possum proofing for residential and commercial properties across South East Queensland. Our focus is on identifying how possums are getting in and providing practical solutions to help keep them out.
Finding the Entry Points
Effective possum proofing starts with a thorough site inspection. Each building is different, and addressing one visible gap may leave other access points overlooked.
We assess the roof, roof space, subfloor and exterior of the property, where accessible, to identify entry points and areas that need attention. From gaps around roof edges to openings in external walls, we look at the building as a whole before recommending a solution.
One-Way Doors and Possum Proofing
Where suitable, we install a one-way door that allows possums to leave the building while preventing them from returning through that opening. We combine this with proofing work to secure other access points, carefully managing the process to avoid trapping animals inside.
Depending on the property, this may include installing galvanised mesh or other durable materials around vulnerable areas. Each installation is tailored to the building, with attention to secure fixings, a neat finish and maintaining necessary ventilation.
Helping Protect Your Property
Possum proofing can help reduce repeated disturbances and prevent urine and droppings from accumulating in roof spaces or around facilities and equipment. It is particularly useful for properties experiencing ongoing activity, where the underlying entry points have never been properly addressed.
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers and commercial clients, providing clear advice and practical recommendations suited to their property.
What Does a Site Inspection Cost?
Our possum proofing site inspections start from $198 and includes an on-site assessment of accessible areas to identify entry points and prepare a quote for the recommended work.
If you accept our quote, the $198 inspection fee is deducted from the job price.

This one-way door allows possums to leave the roof space while preventing them from getting back in. Combined with securing other entry points, it forms part of our possum proofing process. Once we confirm the possum has safely left, we return to remove the one-way door and seal the final entry point, helping keep your roof possum-free.
