Ready Set Spray's Humane Possum Removal
Possums are protected native wildlife in NSW under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Ready Set Spray provides legal, humane possum removal using cage traps placed in your roof cavity. We check traps daily and release possums at dusk the same day, within 50 metres of your property as required by law.
Our licensed technicians handle the entire process — inspection, trap placement, daily checks, and safe release. We follow the NPWS Code of Practice for every job.

Why Humane Removal Matters
Possums Are Protected by Law
Under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act, possums are protected. They must be released at dusk within 50 metres of capture. Fines up to $22,000 apply for breaches.
Ethical & Effective
Cage trapping is the most effective and humane method. Possums are safely caught, checked daily, and released at dusk within 50 metres of your property.
DIY Methods Don't Work
Mothballs, lights, and noise deterrents are temporary at best. Professional exclusion is the only lasting solution to keep possums out of your roof.
Prevents Property Damage
Possums chew electrical wiring, damage insulation, and their urine causes ceiling stains and odour. Early removal prevents costly repairs.
The Ready Set Spray Process
Roof & Property Inspection
We inspect your roof cavity, identify all entry points, and assess the extent of possum activity and any damage.
Cage Trap Placement
We place a humane cage trap in the roof cavity near the possum's nesting area to safely capture it.
Daily Checks
We check the trap daily before dawn as required by the NPWS Code of Practice, ensuring the possum's welfare.
Safe Release at Dusk
Once caught, the possum is released at dusk the same day within 50 metres of your property near suitable shelter.
