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.
