A one-way door is the key piece of most possum jobs in kippa Ring. It is a short tunnel of mesh with a hinged flap at the outer end, mounted over the main gap the possum uses. When the possum heads out to feed after dark, it pushes through the flap. When it comes back, the flap will not open from the outside, and it has to look for a den somewhere other than your roof.
The crew we book fits the door only after they have found and sealed the other gaps, so the door is the single way out. They angle it so the flap closes cleanly and fix it firmly to the fascia, tile or roof sheet around the opening. On tiled roofs the door may sit under a lifted tile. On metal roofs it is usually mounted at the eave or the end of a ridge cap.
- Main entry found by rub marks, droppings and fresh scratching
- All other gaps sealed before the door goes on
- Door mounted and angled so the flap closes on its own
- Door left in place for a few quiet nights
- Door removed and the final hole sealed on the second visit
You can help by listening for the noise on the nights after the door goes on. Most people notice the roof goes quiet within a couple of nights. If you still hear movement after that, let us arrange for the crew to look again, since it usually means there is a second gap nobody could see on the first visit.
