Possum Removal in Eaglemont is what we do most weeks, from the heritage homes near Eaglemont Village to the big hillside blocks off The Eyrie.

Possum Removal in Eaglemont: Local, Licensed, Humane
Possum Removal in Eaglemont is a specialist service that removes brushtail and ringtail possums from roofs, ceilings, wall cavities and sheds, then seals the building so they cannot get back in.
We work across Eaglemont, Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Rosanna and Ivanhoe East, and the local pattern is consistent: large blocks, mature native trees, and older homes with gaps that a possum can find in a single night.
Eaglemont sits in the 3084 postcode, and the combination of hillside terrain and heritage housing stock means roof lines are rarely simple. We use inspection cameras to map the cavity, then set a possum trap or fit a one-way possum door at the actual entry point rather than guessing.
Every job is handled under the Victoria Wildlife Act 1975, which means humane handling, a DEPI permit where relocation is required, and no lethal methods. If you need a possum catcher in Eaglemont, we can usually be on site the same day.

Frontline Pest ControlEaglemont has a possum density that surprises people who move here from inner Melbourne. The suburb is built around Chelsworth Park and the Yarra corridor, and the large blocks with established native trees give possums both food and den sites. Add heritage homes with original terracotta roofs and timber fascia, and you get frequent roof entries. We serve Eaglemont because the demand is real and repeatable, not because it looks good on a map. Most weeks we are in the suburb for possum in roof removal, possum proofing, or a dead possum in a ceiling that has started to smell.

01
Possum Catcher
Our possum catcher service in Eaglemont covers brushtail and ringtail possums in roofs, sheds and wall cavities. We use a cage trap or catch pole depending on where the animal is, and we check the entry point with an inspection camera before we set anything. Most Eaglemont jobs are completed in a single visit.
02Possum in Roof Removal
Possum in roof removal is our most requested Eaglemont service. Heritage homes around Eaglemont Village often have terracotta tiles and timber battens that possums push apart. We locate the entry, remove the possum humanely, and seal the gap with possum proofing mesh and roof flashing so it does not reopen.
03Possum Trapping and Relocation
Where relocation is required, we trap the possum in a Possum Trap or Havahart cage and relocate it under a DEPI permit. Eaglemont jobs often involve possums that have been in the same roof for months, so we assess the whole roof line before trapping. Relocation is always humane and compliant with the Victoria Wildlife Act 1975.
04Possum Proofing
Possum proofing in Eaglemont means sealing every gap a possum can use: roof flashing, ridge capping, eaves, and wall vents. We use steel mesh, timber battens and silicone sealant, and we test the seal before we leave. On hillside blocks, we also check retaining walls and shed roofs, which are common secondary entry points.
05One-Way Possum Door Installation
A one-way possum door lets the possum leave but not re-enter, which suits Eaglemont homes where the animal is still inside. We fit the door at the confirmed entry point, usually in a roof valley or fascia gap, and leave it in place for a set period. We then return to remove it and complete the proofing.
06Dead Possum Removal
Dead possum removal in Eaglemont is usually urgent because of the smell. We locate the carcass with an inspection camera, remove it, and treat the area to neutralise odour. Common spots are ceiling voids, wall cavities and chimneys in older homes around Chelsworth Park and the hillside streets.

How We Execute Possum Removal in Eaglemont
Possum removal in Eaglemont starts with a roof inspection, usually within the first 20 minutes on site. We use a roof ladder and torch to check the roof line, then an inspection camera to confirm whether the possum is in
Steep hillside blocks with limited roof access
Eaglemont's hillside streets often have roofs that slope away from the street, which makes ladder placement difficult and slows the initial inspection. It also means possums can enter from a neighbouring property and travel across the ridge line.
How we help: We carry extension roof ladders and use anchor points where available. On steep blocks we inspect from the high side first, then work down, and we photograph the entry point so you can see exactly where the possum is getting in.
Heritage terracotta roofs with brittle tiles
Older Eaglemont homes around Eaglemont Village often have original terracotta tiles that crack under foot. A careless inspection can create new gaps, which makes the possum problem worse rather than better.
How we help: We use roof boards and walk the battens where possible, and we replace any cracked tiles with matched second-hand stock. Any gap we open during inspection is sealed with possum proofing mesh and silicone sealant before we leave.
Possums moving through wall cavities and chimneys
In Eaglemont's double-brick homes, possums sometimes drop into a wall cavity or chimney instead of staying in the roof. That makes removal harder and the noise travels through the whole house, often at night.
How we help: We use an inspection camera to confirm the animal's position, then set a cage trap or fit a one-way possum door at the base of the cavity. We do not seal a cavity until we are certain no animal remains inside.

Possum Removal Pricing in Eaglemont
Typical 2026 pricing for possum removal in Eaglemont runs from $180 for a straightforward trap-and-seal job to $450 or more for complex roof work, dead possum removal in a wall cavity, or full possum proofing. The main variables are access, roof height and how many entry points need sealing.
A single-storey home with one clear entry point is at the lower end. A steep hillside block with a heritage terracotta roof and multiple gaps sits at the upper end. We give you a fixed quote before we start, so there are no surprises.
If you are comparing possum catcher Eaglemont prices, ask whether proofing and a warranty are included, because the cheapest quote often leaves the entry point open.
Roof access and height
Steep hillside blocks and double-storey homes in Eaglemont take longer to inspect and require more safety setup. That adds labour time, which is the biggest single factor in the final price.
Number of entry points
Many Eaglemont homes have more than one gap. Sealing a single entry is quick, but a full roof line proofing job with multiple gaps takes longer and uses more mesh, flashing and sealant.
Possum location and removal method
A possum in the roof is usually straightforward. A possum in a wall cavity, chimney or under a floor is harder to reach and may need a one-way door or camera-guided removal, which increases the cost.

Eaglemont Landmarks and How We Navigate Them
Eaglemont is compact, but the hills and the railway line shape how we move through it. We use Eaglemont Station and Eaglemont Village as our main orientation points, and Chelsworth Park as a reference for the park-side streets.
Ivanhoe Grammar and Heidelberg Station help us position jobs on the northern and eastern edges. Knowing these landmarks means we can give you an accurate arrival window rather than a vague one.
Eaglemont Station
Eaglemont Station sits on the Hurstbridge line and is a useful reference point for jobs on the station side of the suburb. Streets off the station side often have narrower access, so we plan parking before we arrive.
Eaglemont Village
Eaglemont Village is the main shopping strip and a clear landmark for the older housing precinct. Jobs near the Village are usually within a short walk of our parking spot, which keeps setup time down.
Chelsworth Park
Chelsworth Park runs along the Yarra and marks the southern edge of the suburb. We use it to orient park-side jobs, where roof entries are often at the rear of the property.
Ivanhoe Grammar
Ivanhoe Grammar sits near the Eaglemont boundary and is a useful marker for jobs on the northern side. School-hour traffic affects arrival times, so we plan around drop-off and pick-up.

Reviews from Eaglemont Customers
★★★★★
“We had a possum in the roof for weeks and could not work out where it was getting in. The team arrived the same day, found the gap near the ridge, and had it sorted in under three hours. They showed us photos of the entry point and sealed it properly. No noise since.”
★★★★★
“Called about a dead possum smell in the wall cavity and they came out that afternoon. The technician located it with a camera, removed it, and treated the area. He also checked the roof and sealed a gap we did not know about. Fair price and no mess left behind.”
★★★★★
“We needed possum proofing after a possum got into our shed. They fitted a one-way door first, then came back to seal everything with mesh and battens. It took two visits as explained upfront. The shed has been clear for months now and the warranty gave us confidence.”
