A one way door is the main tool used to clear a possum out of a roof or wall in Birkdale. It is a short tunnel of sturdy mesh with a hinged flap at the outer end. It is fitted over the gap the possum is using, with every other gap nearby blocked so the door is the only way in or out. The door is fitted from outside the home, usually from a ladder at the roofline.
When the possum heads out at night to feed, it pushes the flap open and walks out. When it comes back, the flap will not open from the outside, so it cannot get back into the roof space. The crew we book decides where the door should go after checking the roofline, the roof space and any rub marks or droppings around the likely entry point.
The door is left in place for a few nights. When the roof space is quiet and the crew is happy it is clear, the door is taken off and the gap is sealed. If there are two or more active gaps, a door may be needed on each one, which we cover when we give you upfront pricing on the phone.
