In South Brisbane, a lot of possum calls come from apartments rather than houses. Possums climb trees, drainpipes and balcony railings, then sleep in planter boxes, behind outdoor furniture or under barbecue covers. They leave droppings, knock over pots and make noise late at night. Balcony possum deterrents make your outdoor space less inviting. We book independent crews for this work with upfront pricing.
The crew starts by working out how the possum is getting up. It might be a tree growing close to the building, a drainpipe running past the balcony, a neighbouring balcony or a fence below. Smooth guards can be fitted to downpipes and posts so possums cannot grip them. A scent deterrent can be applied to railings, planters and sitting spots. Guards on shared pipes may need body corporate approval first.
Deterrents work alongside good habits. Do not leave fruit, pet food or scraps outside, keep bins closed and cover outdoor cushions at night. Scent deterrents need reapplying after heavy rain. Trimming a branch that touches the railing can help a lot. On ground-floor units and houses, the same approach helps on decks and verandahs. If a possum has already moved into a roof space, the crew will suggest removal and proofing instead.
