Local knowledge
Kew is built beside possum country.
The Yarra wraps around the suburb, with established trees running deep into residential streets.
Kew sits beside Yarra Bend and Studley Park, the largest stretch of remnant natural bushland in inner Melbourne. Add mature gardens, long residential blocks and older rooflines, and possums have plenty of ways to move between habitat and houses.
The fix is not removing the animal and hoping for the best. We identify the entry, install a one-way door and proof the roof so it cannot use the same route again.
Yarra Bend and Studley Park
Yarra Bend and Studley Park retain extensive river, woodland and bushland habitat along Kew's western edge. Homes near the river and Yarra Boulevard sit close to a major wildlife corridor.
Long, leafy residential blocks
Many Kew streets have deep gardens and established canopy. Possums can travel through connected trees and fences, then use a nearby branch, pergola or verandah to reach the roof.
Large heritage rooflines
Kew has retained many substantial nineteenth and early twentieth-century homes. Complex valleys, chimneys, tiled additions and high eaves create more junctions to inspect and more places for a small opening to develop.
Renovations meeting older buildings
Extensions and second-storey additions can leave difficult junctions between new and old work. We pay close attention to flashings, changes in roof pitch and the back of gutter lines, not just the most obvious tile gap.
One opening is enough.
A Kew roof can look solid from the garden and still have a gap hidden behind flashing or high on a return. We inspect the whole accessible roofline, use a humane one-way exit and seal every confirmed weak point.

We've been doing this a while, and it shows
Over a decade of hands-on experience. We know Kew's properties inside and out (and on top).
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.

Five stars
“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 Kew
Everything you need to know before booking.
Yes. We work across the full 3101 postcode, including homes near Studley Park, Kew Junction and the eastern side toward Balwyn.
Yarra Bend and Studley Park provide substantial urban wildlife habitat. Living nearby does not guarantee a roof problem, but possums are active through the corridor and can use connected trees to reach residential properties.
Yes. Complex roofs simply need a methodical inspection. We trace the roofline, valleys, chimneys, eaves, gutters and additions to find the actual entry points before proofing begins.
Our possum proofing carries a 2.5-year warranty. If a possum re-enters a proofed area during the warranty period, we come back and sort it out at no charge.
