Possums live in the trees around kippa Ring, and that is not going to change. Garden possum deterrents are about making the path from the trees to your roof harder, so a possum is less likely to try the gutter and more likely to stay in the garden. They work well alongside roof proofing.
The crew we book walks the yard and looks at how a possum would reach your roof. Common routes include branches resting on the gutter, trees close to the eaves, fences that run up to the house, and vines or palms growing against a wall. The crew can fit smooth metal collars around tree trunks that possums cannot grip, and they can point out branches that should be cut back.
- Climbing routes from trees, fences and vines mapped out
- Metal tree collars fitted to trunks near the house
- Branches touching the roof or gutter pointed out for trimming
- Motion-sensor lights suggested for common crossing spots
- Fruit trees and vegetable patches netted where you want them covered
Deterrents on their own will not move a possum out of a roof it already lives in. They are there to make the roof less appealing and harder to reach once the gaps have been sealed. For many homes near the bay, a couple of well placed tree collars and a trimmed branch make a big difference to how often possums end up on the roof.
