What Is Commercial & Strata Possum Control?
Strata and commercial possum control is the systematic management of possum infestations across multi-unit residential buildings, apartment complexes, townhouse developments, commercial premises, and council-managed properties. Unlike single-home removal, strata possum management requires a whole-building approach — because possums exploiting one unit's roof will rapidly spread access points across the entire structure.
Possum Removal Pros works directly with strata managers, owners corporations, building managers, and property management agencies across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. We provide the documentation, compliance records, and reporting formats that strata management demands — including scope-of-works reports, job completion certificates, and written guarantees suitable for OC meeting minutes and insurance records.
Our strata possum management service goes beyond reactive callouts. We offer scheduled inspection and maintenance programs that identify and address possum access points building-wide, on a regular basis — the most cost-effective long-term approach for any strata scheme dealing with recurring possum problems.
Why It Matters
Why Possum Problems in Strata Buildings Are Different
Possum infestations in multi-unit buildings present unique challenges that single-home removal companies are not equipped to handle.
Roof Access Is Shared — So Is the Problem
In a strata building, possums typically access a shared roof space that sits above multiple units. Treating one unit's ceiling without addressing the full roof means the possum simply moves to the adjacent unit — an endless and expensive cycle.
Body Corporate Obligations
Under the Strata Schemes Management Act (NSW) and equivalent state legislation, owners corporations have a duty to maintain common property — which includes the roof and ceiling spaces. Failing to address a documented possum infestation may expose the OC to liability.
Documentation Required for OC Records
Strata managers need proper scope-of-works reports, job completion certificates, and written guarantees for OC records, insurance purposes, and NCAT proceedings if disputes arise. We provide all of this as standard.
Complex Roof & Access Structures
Multi-storey apartment buildings have complex roof structures with multiple access points across large surface areas. Our strata technicians are trained in working safely at height and across large, commercial-grade roof structures.
Resident Communication Challenges
Coordinating possum trapping across a building with multiple occupied units requires careful scheduling, resident notifications, and access management. We handle this coordination professionally and with minimal disruption.
Seasonal Flare-Ups Require Prevention
Strata buildings that experience recurring possum problems every autumn — as possums seek warm winter dens — benefit enormously from pre-season inspection and proofing programs rather than reactive removal each year.
Step by Step
Our Strata Possum Management Process
We treat every strata job as a building-wide project — not a collection of individual unit callouts. This is what makes our approach genuinely effective.
Building-Wide Initial Inspection
Our strata team conducts a comprehensive inspection of the entire building — roof perimeter, common roof cavity, all unit ceiling spaces (with resident access coordination), facade, and service penetrations. We produce a written inspection report documenting all findings, entry points, species identified, and recommended scope of works.
Scope-of-Works Report for OC Approval
We present a detailed scope-of-works document formatted for OC meeting presentation — clearly itemising all proposed works, unit-by-unit access requirements, materials, timelines, costs, and expected outcomes. This supports the formal OC approval process required under strata legislation.
Coordinated Trapping Program
Licensed cage trapping is conducted building-wide simultaneously — not unit by unit. We coordinate resident access, schedule trap checks around building routines, and document all captures and releases with the precision required for licensed wildlife operations across all states.
Full Building Proofing & Exclusion
After trapping is complete, we seal all identified entry points across the entire building exterior using professional-grade materials. We use rope access equipment and working-at-height safety systems as required for multi-storey buildings — with full liability insurance coverage.
Completion Certificate & Ongoing Program Setup
We provide a written completion certificate, full photographic documentation of all sealed entry points, and a building-specific recommended maintenance schedule. For buildings with chronic possum problems, we set up a scheduled quarterly or annual inspection and proofing maintenance program.
