Possums (common brushtail Trichosurus vulpecula and common ringtail Pseudocheirus peregrinus) are protected native wildlife under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. It is illegal in New South Wales to poison, harm or relocate a possum more than 150 metres from where it was captured. Any operator offering to poison, trap-and-remove or ‘get rid of’ possums off-property is breaking the law and putting you at risk of prosecution and heavy fines.
What we do offer is fully compliant, humane possum-proofing across every Campbelltown and Macarthur suburb — Airds, Ambarvale, Bradbury, Glen Alpine, Ingleburn, Kentlyn, Rosemeadow, Wedderburn and beyond. We identify how the possum is getting in, wait until it exits at dusk, seal every entry point with heavy-gauge steel mesh, and install a possum-box in the yard so the animal keeps its territory outside the roof.
Campbelltown Pest Control is a locally owned, owner-operated business with more than 30 years serving homes, schools, aged-care villages, medical centres and businesses across the Campbelltown City Council LGA. Every technician on our team is a fully licensed NSW EPA Pest Management Technician, we carry $20 million public-liability insurance, and every general-pest treatment is backed by our 12-month warranty.
We service the entire Macarthur region — Airds, Ambarvale, Blair Athol, Bradbury, Campbelltown, Claymore, Eagle Vale, Englorie Park, Gilead, Glen Alpine, Glenfield, Ingleburn, Kearns, Kentlyn, Leumeah, Long Point, Macquarie Fields, Menangle Park, Minto, Raby, Rosemeadow, Ruse, St Andrews, St Helens Park, Varroville, Wedderburn and Woodbine — usually within the same week, and same-day for urgent rodent, wasp and cockroach call-outs.
Most Campbelltown cockroach control jobs are booked and completed within the same week. Every treatment is carried out by a licensed NSW technician and backed by our 12-month written warranty on general pest work.
Species & facts
Cat-sized, thick grey fur, bushy black tail — the loud thumping and dragging on a Campbelltown roof at 2am is almost always a brushtail.
Smaller, russet-grey with white-tipped curled tail — builds a dray (leaf nest) in dense shrubs and pergolas, quieter than brushtails.
NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 — cannot be harmed, poisoned or relocated more than 150m.
Possums shred sarking, chew wiring insulation and urinate into ceiling gyprock — a documented cause of ceiling collapse and electrical faults.
Broken tiles, gaps under eaves, unscreened whirlybirds, tree branches overhanging the roof and open barge-board joins.
A brushtail defends a 3–8 hectare territory — evict it humanely with a possum-box and it will leave your roof for the box.
Every Possum Proofing & Removal job we book across Campbelltown starts with the customer noticing one of these signs. If you see any of them, book an inspection — early treatment is always cheaper.
Full internal inspection to confirm species, count and every entry point — plus a written report if required for insurance or strata.
For active roof-void residents we install a one-way exit door at the primary access point — the possum leaves at dusk and cannot re-enter.
All confirmed entries permanently sealed with 1.6mm galvanised steel mesh, sealant and, where needed, replacement tiles or vents.
A hardwood possum-box installed high in a yard tree, giving the evicted possum a legal new home and stopping it from returning to the roof.
