Practical guides on pest control services from the City of Brimbank team.
Brimbank Pest Control removes possums from roof cavities, walls, sheds, and gardens across the City of Brimbank using humane one-way door exclusion and permanent perimeter sealing. We assess the entry points, install an escape door so the possum leaves naturally, then seal all access points with metal flashing and concrete, preventing re-entry for 12 months. This method avoids poisons, traps, and stress to the animal while protecting your insulation, wiring, and ceiling integrity. Most Brimbank jobs take 24–48 hours from booking to completion.

Spot any of these in your City of Brimbank property? It's time to act before it gets worse.
Call Brimbank Pest Control on 03 9962 4445 or request a free quote online, and we'll schedule a same-day or next-day inspection at your Brimbank property. When you call, tell us which suburb you're in (Sunshine, Albion, St Albans, Keilor, etc.) and describe the noise pattern and location of the possum sounds — this helps us prioritise assessment timing. No deposit is required; we confirm the job details and costs in writing during the on-site visit.
Our technician arrives with a ladder, torch, and inspection tools, accesses the roof cavity or exterior walls, and traces the possum's entry holes and nesting damage. We photograph the holes, measure them, check for baby possums (which changes the removal timeline), and assess nearby gaps that could become future entry points. You'll receive a detailed written quote showing the removal cost, sealing cost, timeline, and our 12-month re-entry guarantee. This inspection typically takes 45 minutes and is free of charge.
Once approved, we install a one-way exclusion door over the possum's entry hole — usually within 24 hours. The door allows the possum to push out but prevents it from re-entering, forcing it to find shelter elsewhere. We secure the door frame with bolts and sealant to make sure no gaps. During this phase (typically 1–2 hours), the possum is still alive and undisturbed; it simply cannot return. If babies are present, we wait 6–8 weeks for them to become mobile before installing the door.
We monitor the one-way door for 3–5 days to confirm the possum has exited and is not attempting to re-enter. You may still hear scratching sounds as the possum tries to find shelter, but the door prevents re-entry. Once confirmed gone, we return to the property, remove the exclusion door, and begin permanent sealing. Monitoring typically involves a brief afternoon or evening check; you don't need to be home. We'll send you a text or email when departure is confirmed.
We seal the primary entry hole and any secondary gaps using metal flashing, steel mesh, and polyurethane expanding foam — materials that possums cannot chew through. For large holes (greater than 50 mm), we install a metal grille or concrete patch. For soffit gaps or gutter damage, we attach heavy-gauge steel mesh to prevent any animal from prying open the gap. Full perimeter sealing typically takes 2–4 hours and includes sealant drying time. All materials carry a 12-month material guarantee, so if a seal degrades due to weather, we re-seal free of charge.
City of Brimbank has its own quirks for possum control — property mix, climate, access challenges. Here's how we adapt the work to suit.
Heritage homes, apartments, retail strips — we adapt possum control method to each building type.

Every job is quoted on-site after a quick inspection, so the price is fixed with no surprises.
We've performed possum control across all 19 City of Brimbank suburbs — Sunshine, Albion, Keilor, St Albans, Ardeer, Cairnlea, Deer Park, Delahey, Derrimut, Glengala, Hillside, Kealba, Kings Park, Ravenhall, Sydenham, Taylors Lakes, Watergardens, Calder Park, and Albanvale. This means we understand local possum pressure (driven by creek corridors like Kororoit Creek and tree-lined streets in older suburbs), the age and design of Brimbank homes, and which entry points are most common. We respond same-day and tailor our sealing approach to each suburb's specific building styles.
Possum control without poison or traps means no risk to your pets, no dead possum smell weeks later, and no legal liability. One-way door exclusion is endorsed by the RSPCA and Australian Wildlife Management Standards because it removes the animal without injury or stress. Unlike lethal traps, which can maim a possum and leave it suffering for hours, our method lets the possum leave naturally and find shelter in a suitable location. This is the humane standard, and it's the method we use on every Brimbank possum control job, no exceptions.
Before we begin any possum control work, you receive an itemised written quote showing the removal cost, sealing cost, timeline, and guarantee terms. We don't start work until you approve the quote in writing. This protects you from surprise invoices. Most Brimbank possum control jobs cost $600–$1,200 total (removal + sealing), but the exact price depends on how many entry holes exist, how accessible they are, and whether perimeter sealing is needed. You'll know the total cost before we touch your roof.
Call us today and we'll inspect your property same-day or next-day across all Brimbank postcodes. Once approved, we install the one-way door within 24 hours, confirm the possum has departed within 5 days, and seal permanently by day 6–7. This 1-week turnaround prevents the possum from causing additional damage (torn insulation costs $1,200+) and gets your roof back to normal before winter. We cover Brimbank from 3020 (Albion, Sunshine) to 3038 (Taylors Lakes, Watergardens) with no postcode surcharge.
We guarantee our possum control work in writing: if a possum re-enters through a point we sealed within 12 months, we remove it and reinforce the seal free of charge. This guarantee applies to all Brimbank suburbs and all sealing methods. We stand behind our workmanship because one-way door exclusion and metal flashing sealing are proven, durable methods when done correctly. Most re-entry issues are caused by new damage from weather or external impact (not our sealing failing), so this guarantee gives you genuine peace of mind across the 12-month Brimbank weather cycle.
