Possum removal is the main job we take calls for in kippa Ring. Most people ring after a few nights of thumping, scratching and hissing above the bedroom, and they want the noise gone and the roof closed up. We take down the details, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to come out and sort the roof.
The crew we book starts by finding where the possum is sleeping and how it gets in and out. On the Redcliffe peninsula that is often a gap under the eaves, a lifted ridge cap, a loose sheet of flashing or a broken tile near a valley. They then fit a one-way door over the main entry so the possum can leave to feed at night but cannot climb back in. Other gaps are sealed on the same visit with mesh, flashing or replacement tiles.
- Inspection of the roof space and eaves to find the den and the entry points
- A one-way door fitted over the main way in
- Other gaps closed with galvanised mesh, flashing or tiles
- The one-way door taken off after a few quiet nights and the final hole sealed
- Droppings and odour work priced separately if you want it
Every house is a little different. A lowset brick home with a tiled roof has different weak spots to a newer two-storey build with a metal roof, and the crew works to what they find. They explain what they plan to do before they start, and they point out anything that could let a possum back in later, such as branches resting on the gutter.
