Understanding the Behaviours of Auckland’s Possums

Possums are a significant pest species in Auckland, causing considerable damage to native ecosystems and agricultural land.

Possums cause serious damage to native plants and compete with native birds and other animals for food resources. Possums can also carry and transmit diseases, such as bovine tuberculosis, making proper possum control in NZ important.

Possums are versatile in their nesting habits, making their homes in a variety of places that offer warmth and seclusion. They are known to venture into urban gardens, attracted by the diverse and readily available food sources. They feed on flowers, fruits, and vegetables, with a particular taste for succulent, sweet vegetation. This includes flower and rose buds, fruit-tree buds, fruits, and nuts.

Discovering possums on your property or business can be both surprising and concerning. These nocturnal creatures are attracted to urban and suburban areas. Understanding why possums have chosen your home or business as their new habitat can help effectively address the issue using targeted possum control in Auckland.

Our experts understand the habits and preferences of Auckland’s possum population, enabling us to provide effective solutions to protect your property and garden from these nocturnal visitors.

Preventing Possums from Nesting in Your Space

While possums can be a pain to deal with, there are some preventative steps you can take to make your property a much less attractive space to them:

Maintaining a clean and tidy property

Like rodent pest control, securing rubbish bins and removing easy food sources can make your property less inviting to possums.

Installing possum-proof barriers

Possum barriers around trees and buildings can also help.

Reduce hiding spots

Remove any potential hiding places, such as piles of wood, old furniture, or overgrown vegetation. Regularly trim trees and shrubs to reduce their density and eliminate potential nesting sites.

Seal entry points

Inspect your property for any gaps or holes that possums could use to enter. Seal these openings with metal mesh or caulk.
