How to Prepare for Pest Control

Preparing Your Home for Possum Control Treatment

  • Identify Entry Points: Locate and seal any entry points where possums could enter your home, such as gaps in the roof, vents, eaves, and chimneys. Use metal mesh or other sturdy materials to block these access points.

  • Remove Food Sources: Ensure that all food items are securely stored. Keep pet food indoors and ensure that garbage bins are tightly sealed to avoid attracting possums.

  • Trim Vegetation: Trim tree branches and shrubs that provide easy access to your roof or attic. Possums can use overhanging branches as pathways.

  • Clean Up Outdoor Areas: Remove any outdoor pet food, fallen fruit, and bird seed that may attract possums. Keep compost bins secured and properly maintained.

  • Secure Pet Doors: If you have pet doors, secure them at night to prevent possums from entering your home.

  • Use Deterrents: Consider using possum deterrents like motion-activated lights or sprinklers in areas where possums are commonly seen.

  • Provide Access: Ensure technicians have easy access to all areas of your home, including the roof, attic, and any crawl spaces.
