What makes your warranty better?
Unconditional 12-month coverage with no claim limits, exclusions, or dispute processes. We stand by our work without qualifications.
Is relocation legal?
Relocating possums is illegal under Wildlife Act 1975. Our humane exclusion methods comply with all regulations protecting native species.

98% of cases resolved within first night. Subordinate possums may take an additional day. System includes verification of complete eviction.
What payment options exist?
30-day payment deferral allows verification of results. No deposits or advance payments required for standard services.
