Local knowledge
Ivanhoe has the canopy and the rooflines possums look for.
Two creek and river corridors, undulating streets and generations of established homes.
Ivanhoe is bordered by Darebin Creek to the west and the Yarra River to the south. Between them sit tree-lined streets, Edwardian houses, interwar estates, later flats and modern additions.
That mix creates plenty of possible access points, from lifted tiles and fascia gaps to flashing around a newer extension. We find the route in use before we install the one-way door and start proofing.
Darebin Creek and the Yarra
Darebin Creek and the Yarra River form two strong green boundaries around Ivanhoe. Their connected vegetation supports native wildlife movement close to residential areas.
Edwardian and interwar homes
Ivanhoe grew strongly in the early 1900s and through the 1920s and 1930s. Tiled roofs from those periods can develop gaps where mortar, timber, flashing and later repairs have aged at different rates.
Established private canopy
Large gardens and protected canopy trees are part of Ivanhoe's character. Where branches, fences and pergolas connect, possums can move from the street or creek corridor to a roof with very little ground travel.
Hills, valleys and rear rooflines
Ivanhoe's undulating ground can make rear gutters and lower additions hard to see from the street. We inspect the less obvious sides of the building, where a change in level or roof pitch can conceal an opening.
The obvious hole is not always the active one.
Possums leave rub marks, droppings and travel patterns that help tell the real story. We use that evidence to place the one-way door correctly, then seal the roof so the fix lasts.

Book NowWho we are
Not a franchise. Not a call centre. Just us.
Owner-operators who do the work ourselves. Ivanhoe locals get the same crew every time.
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.

Bella & Jim
They regularly let Mitch and Dex pretend they're in charge. You might meet them on the job.
Word of mouth
“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 Ivanhoe
Everything you need to know before booking.
Yes. We cover Ivanhoe throughout the 3079 postcode, including properties near Darebin Creek, Upper Heidelberg Road and the Yarra side of the suburb.
Branches close to a roof can provide easy access, but they are only part of the problem. A possum still needs a gap into the building. We identify and proof that entry rather than treating tree pruning as the whole fix.
Yes. We work out what is in the roof before any rodent treatment begins. Possums are protected wildlife, so correct identification and secure treatment methods matter.
Every possum proofing job carries 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.
