Signs You Have a Possum Problem

Common signs of possum activity include:
Scratching, thumping, or movement sounds in roof spaces.
Damage to gardens, fruit trees, and ornamental plants.
Possum droppings around decks, roofs, or outdoor areas.
Chewed leaves, bark, and vegetation.

Possums seen climbing trees or moving around your property after dark.

Early action can help prevent ongoing damage and reduce the likelihood of possums establishing permanent nesting areas.
