A one-way door is the main tool for getting a possum out of a roof or wall cavity. It is a hinged flap or short tunnel fitted over the gap the possum uses. We take your booking, give you upfront pricing and send a nearby independent crew that fits these doors on homes around Ripley.
Getting the door in the right place matters. The crew checks the roof space and outside walls to find the main entry point the possum is using now, looking for rub marks, fresh droppings and bent flashing. Doors can go on eaves, gables, fascia gaps or wall vents, depending on the house. Other gaps are sealed on the same visit where it makes sense, so the one-way door becomes the only way out.
- Main entry point found from inside and outside
- Door fitted over the gap with screws or brackets
- Nearby weak spots sealed so the door is the only exit
- Advice on what noise to listen for over the next few nights
- Return visit to take the door off and seal the gap
When the possum heads out at night, it pushes through the flap. When it comes back, the flap stays shut. The roof usually goes quiet after a few nights. Once you have heard nothing for a while, call us and the crew comes back to take the door off and seal the last gap with mesh or flashing. If the noise keeps going, the crew checks for a second entry point.
