Bird & Possum Proofing and Removal

Nuisance birds and possums can be problematic when they nest in and around your home. Birds, namely Pigeons, and native possums can begin nesting on your home causing considerable damage and disorder in the process. The humane removal and re-homing is essential for the effective management of nuisance birds and native possums. Hunter United Pest Control Newcastle are expert at humanely trapping and removing birds and possums from your home.

Birds can be destructive when they choose to nest in and around your home, under eaves and inside your roof. Mainly Pigeons and Minor Birds are problematic in the Newcastle area. Our methods of bird removal are kind both to the environment and the birds. The birds are removed and set free away from your home and your home is then bird proofed in an environmentally responsible way. Feral pigeons do not migrate and stay close to their birth place, which may be your home or office. Feral pigeons are attracted to food sources around your home such as outdoor dog bowls, food rubbish and bird baths/feeders. Pigeons leave droppings around your home which can be a possible health hazard and due to their acidic nature, can cause damage to your home including drain blockage.  Removing food sources permanently, proper pigeon proofing and removal of nests can deter the birds from returning following trapping.

Brush tail possums can grow to the size of a domestic cat and are problematic when they move into your roof. These Australian native marsupials can cause havoc in and around the home and generally resort to living in roofs when native gum trees are felled. Possums who live in roofs of houses can cause damage to roof interiors as well as making loud noises at night. Possums love apples and these make good trap bait for our humane traps. Our trapping methods are humane and no possums are harmed, but are set free following trapping. Possums are fast moving and have been known to scratch if confronted. You will need to enlist the help of a licensed pest controller to safely catch and  re-home possums.

Hunter United Pest Control practice only humane trapping techniques and do no harm to animals who have been captured. All animals are set free away from your property into a suitable habitat. Following our visit, ensure that you remove food sources so that you do not encourage their return.
