Possum removal is the most common call we take from homes in Birkdale. Most people ring after a few nights of thumping in the ceiling, or after spotting a possum slipping under the eaves at dusk. We ask where the noise is, how long it has been going on and what sort of roof the house has, then we give upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
The crew we book starts with a walk around the outside of the home. They look for the gap the possum is using, which often shows up as dark rub marks, bent flashing, a lifted tile or droppings on the ground below. Inside, they check the roof space from the manhole where it is easy to reach. Once the main entry point is found, a one way door is fitted over it so the possum can get out but not back in.
After the roof space is clear, the door is taken off and the gap is sealed with sturdy mesh or sheet metal. Other weak spots close by, such as open vents or gaps at the eaves, are proofed on the same visit so another possum cannot move straight into the same space. The crew will also point out any branches touching the roof that make it easy for possums to climb up.
