Questions
Possum protection: common questions
Something else on your mind? Ask in the form below and Albert will get back to you.
Will this hurt the possums?
No. Possums are protected wildlife in Victoria. The methods used simply stop them climbing into the tree or crossing onto your roof.
Why do possums keep coming back?
Possums travel along branches, fences and roofs. Guarding the trunk and cutting back the branches they use to cross over is what keeps them out.
