We're the ones
on your roof.
Best At Pests is a small, owner-operated possum and pest crew. We're not a big company with overpaid sales people and undertrained staff. It's genuinely just us on every job, doing it properly.
Our story
Possum people, through and through
We started Best At Pests because too many Melbourne homeowners were getting stitched up: caged possums, poisons in the roof, dodgy "repairs" that failed in a month, and prices that made your eyes water.
So we did it differently. Humane one-way doors only. Every entry point sealed properly, using our trade backgrounds in carpentry and construction. And the longest warranty in the country to back it.
10+ years and 8,000+ jobs later, we're still a small crew that turns up, does it right, and actually fixes your roof. We donate to Wildlife Victoria on every possum job, because we're all just looking for somewhere to call home.
The team
The ones who actually
turn up.
Between us we've been a sparky, a roof plumber, a cabinetmaker and a crane tester. That mix is the point: a tricky possum job is really a detective job, and this is a crew that likes the tricky ones.
Mitch
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
A qualified sparky turned possum whisperer, happiest on the roof with no obvious way up.

Dexter
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
Roof-plumbing background, so he seals a house the way you'd weatherproof your own. Off the tools it's the dogs, a bike, or a guitar.

Jarrah
Possum Specialist
Came off testing cranes and lifting gear, so heights and awkward access don't rattle him. Off the roof he's on the guitar, usually with Dex.

Sam
Possum Specialist
A cabinetmaker by trade, so he clocks the millimetre gap the rest of us walk past. Newest on the crew, already the fussiest about a clean seal.

They regularly let Mitch and Dex pretend they're in charge. You might meet them on the job.
