Local knowledge
Hawthorn gives possums plenty of options.
Old rooflines, mature gardens and a river corridor close by.
Hawthorn packs a lot of different buildings into the 3122. There are Victorian cottages, Edwardian homes, terraces, apartments and newer townhouses, often within the same few streets.
That variety matters when you're looking for a possum entry point. The gap might be under old tiles, behind a rainhead, along a box gutter or where a later extension meets the original house. We check the whole roofline before we decide how to fix it.
Victorian and Edwardian rooflines
Precincts such as Grace Park retain a large concentration of Victorian and Federation-era homes. Tiles shift, mortar wears and additions create new junctions. A gap that looks minor from the ground can be all a brushtail needs.
Mature gardens and street trees
Grace Park and many of Hawthorn's older streets are known for mature gardens and established street trees. Branches near a roof give possums an easy route onto gutters, verandahs and upper-storey rooflines.
The Yarra and Gardiners Creek edges
The Yarra River borders Hawthorn to the west and Gardiners Creek runs along the south. Those green corridors support urban wildlife, so nearby homes can see regular possum movement after dark.
Terraces, apartments and shared junctions
Closer to Glenferrie and Hawthorn stations, detached homes sit alongside terraces and apartments. Shared parapets, box gutters and tight access can hide the real entry point. Proofing one obvious hole is not enough if the adjoining roofline is still open.
The job starts with the actual entry point.
Hawthorn roofs rarely reward guesswork. We use a humane one-way door, let the possum leave, then seal the route it was genuinely using. The proofing is backed by our 2.5-year warranty.

Hawthorn pest control, done properly
We don't do shortcuts and we don't subcontract. Every job is done by our own team, start to finish.
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
Mitch
A qualified sparky turned possum whisperer, happiest on the roof with no obvious way up.
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
Dexter
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.
Possum Specialist
Jarrah
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.
Possum Specialist
Sam
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.

“Inspected the place with a fine tooth comb and blocked all entrance points after spending considerable time checking perimeter of the place. On time, real easy to work with and super efficient in addressing the problem. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

FAQ
Common questions about pest control in Hawthorn
Everything you need to know before booking.
Yes. We cover the full 3122 postcode, from the Yarra side of Hawthorn through Glenferrie and Auburn.
Yes. Terraces can have gaps around parapets, box gutters, flashings and shared roof junctions. We inspect the full accessible roofline to find the route the possum is actually using.
No. We use humane one-way doors so the possum can leave but cannot get back into the roof. We then proof the entry points. Victorian law restricts possum relocation, and sealing the roof is what stops the problem returning.
Every possum proofing job comes with our 2.5-year warranty. If a possum gets back into a proofed area during that period, we return and fix it at no charge.
