Possum tree guards and banding

Don't let scratches and squeaks keep you up at night

Possums have a bad habit of destroying tree foliage and making homes of roofs and ceilings. This typically occurs when they climb nearby trees, scratching their way into rooftop crevasses. Therefore, Trav’s Trees offers possum guards and tree collars that effectively safeguard your home while also protecting these furry critters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do tree bands deter possums?

Made from colour bond sheets or polycarbonate materials, tree bands are placed on tree trunks and some branches (where relevant). These tree bands make it impossible for possums to grip, meaning they are unable to climb into the trees and, subsequently, cannot enter roofs and ceilings. They also prevent possums eating vegetation and large fruit trees, keeping all your significant trees in pristine condition.

Are tree bands humane?

Yes. Tree bands only prevent possums from climbing the tree — they don't hurt possums in any way. We ensure your possum problem is handled with safety and care. 

Are your tree bands durable?

Yes, we've tested our tree bands against the elements, and they are highly durable. We'll also perform ongoing maintenance to make sure they remain effective once installed. This ensures the tree bands continue to work as your tree grows. 

Is there anything else you can do?

We can trim and lop any tree branches which may be close to the main building or structure. Possums can only jump around two and a half metres, so we'll make sure there is enough distance between your trees and the building.
