Roof possum removal is for the classic case: a possum living in the space between your ceiling and the roof. In kippa Ring homes the den is often above the kitchen or a bedroom, close to where warm air rises through the ceiling, or tucked against a downlight or an exhaust fan. You hear it most around dusk and again before sunrise.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole with a torch and looks for flattened insulation, droppings, fur and dark grease marks where the possum rubs past the timber. Those signs lead them to the den and to the gap the possum uses. From outside on a ladder they then fit a one-way door over that gap and seal the rest of the roof line.
- Roof space checked from the manhole to the far corners
- Den and travel paths found by droppings and grease marks
- Main entry fitted with a one-way door
- Other openings closed with mesh or flashing
- Ceiling checked for stains and soiled insulation
Sealing every hole while the possum is still inside only makes it scratch and chew harder to get out, and it can damage the roof in the process. That is why the one-way door goes on first. Once the roof has been quiet for a few nights, the crew comes back, takes the door off and closes the final gap.
Tiled roofs, metal roofs and low-pitch extension roofs each need a slightly different approach, and the crew brings mesh, flashing and spare tiles to suit the common styles around kippa Ring. For a price and a booking time, call 07 3543 7771 and we will set it up.
