If you hear thumping or scratching in the ceiling after dark, there is a good chance a possum has found a way into your roof. We take the call, ask a few questions about the noise and your home, and give you upfront pricing. Then we book a nearby independent crew that regularly works on possum jobs around Ripley.
Removal is done with a one-way door and proofing. The crew checks the roof space and the outside of the house to find the main entry point, which is often a gap at the eaves, a lifted tile, a gable vent or a hole around a pipe. A one-way door goes over that gap. The possum can push out when it leaves at night but cannot get back in.
- Roof space and outside check to find entry points
- One-way door fitted over the main gap
- Other gaps sealed with mesh, flashing or vent guards
- Return visit to take off the door and seal the last gap
- Notes on droppings, stains or damage found in the roof
Once the roof has been quiet for a few nights, the crew comes back, takes the door off and closes the last gap. They also seal any other weak spots they found on the first visit, so the possum has no easy way back in. If the crew finds a second active entry point, they explain it and fit another door where needed. You hear the price for both visits before any work starts.
