Possum Removal Auckland
Brushtail possums are a common nuisance in Auckland suburbs, using overhanging branches to access roof spaces where they nest, urinate, and create significant noise at night. Beyond the disturbance, possums chew wiring and insulation, stain ceilings, and damage fruit trees and gardens. DeBug Pest Control provides licensed possum removal and roof proofing to resolve the problem and prevent recurrence.

- Heavy thumping and scampering in roof spaces disrupts sleep
