The hand-painted box
Painted by Dex's mum
Dex's mum is a local Melbourne artist, and she paints every one of these boxes by hand: possums, trees and bush greens. It's a small piece of art for your garden that does a real job.
She is living with neuroendocrine cancer, often called NETs, and she wants her boxes to help others with it. Hand-painted boxes are available in Melbourne (VIC) only.
Where the money goes
$15 from every hand-painted box goes to NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA).
Her wish is that it helps fund research into NETs.

Book possum removal with a boxNew to us? Here's how our humane possum removal works.
Why a box matters
A humane move, with somewhere to go
Our possum removal is humane: a one-way exit lets the possum leave on its own, then we seal the roof so it can't get back in. Possums are protected wildlife and like to stay close to home. A nest box nearby gives yours a place to shelter.
Humane
No harm. A box gives the possum a dry place to shelter.
Close to home
A box in your garden gives it shelter in familiar territory.
Out of your roof
It has somewhere to go other than your ceiling.
