Possum removal is the job most people in Wavell Heights call us about. The signs are hard to ignore: heavy footsteps overhead as the sun goes down, more noise before dawn, and sometimes a musky smell or a brown stain spreading across the ceiling. A possum has found a way into the roof space and has made it home. Left alone, the noise, smell and staining tend to get worse over time, not better.
The crew we book begins outside, walking the house and looking up at the roofline for gaps, dark rub marks and droppings on paths or decks. Then they go up through the manhole to check the ceiling space. Once they find the gap the possum is using, they seal any nearby openings and fit a one-way door over the main one. The door lets the possum leave when it heads out for the night, but it cannot find its way back in through that gap.
After a few quiet nights, the crew returns. They take the one-way door off and seal the last gap with galvanised mesh, flashing or sheet metal, whichever suits the roof. The seal is screwed in place so it is hard to pull loose. If they spotted other weak points on the first visit, they will price those too so you can decide whether to have them done.
