Heavy thumps in the ceiling after sunset, scratching in the walls and a sharp smell near the manhole are the most common reasons people in Clayfield call us about possum removal. A possum has found a gap in the roof and is using the cavity as its daytime den. It leaves at night and comes back before dawn, often through the same gap every time. Possums are strong climbers and can shift a loose sheet of iron or a lifted tile with little effort.
The crew we book starts by finding that gap. They walk around the house to look at the roofline, then check inside the ceiling for droppings, worn paths across the insulation and rub marks on the timber. Once the main entry is found, they fit a one-way door over it. The door lets the possum out when it leaves at night, but it cannot push back in through the same opening.
After the cavity is clear, the crew comes back to take the door off and seal the gap with mesh or sheet metal that suits your roof. While they are up there, they point out any other gaps so you can decide whether to have those sealed too. Most roofs need two visits, one to fit the door and one to seal up, and we book both times when you call.
- Roofline walk-around and ceiling check
