Possums live in the trees around Graceville, and they will keep visiting the garden. The goal is not to keep them out of the yard altogether, but to make the house and the roof less inviting. We book an independent crew who works nearby to set up simple garden deterrents, and give you upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book looks at how possums move through your yard. Trees beside the house, branches that touch the gutter, vines on walls and fences that lead to the eaves all give a possum an easy climb. The crew can fit smooth metal collars around tree trunks so possums cannot climb them, and they will point out branches that should be trimmed back from the roof.
Other simple steps help too. Motion sensor lights near the house can make possums less keen to linger. Keeping fruit picked up, pet food inside and compost bins closed gives them fewer reasons to hang around near the back door. The crew can suggest what suits your yard. Tree collars are sized to each trunk and can be loosened as the tree grows. Palms and thin-trunked trees can be harder to guard, and the crew will tell you if a collar will not help.

Garden deterrents do the most good alongside a sealed roof, so possums can enjoy the trees of Graceville without moving into the ceiling. Call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a crew to look at your garden and the routes to your roof.
