Possum removal is the job we book most in Toowong. It usually starts with noises in the ceiling after dark: heavy thumps, scratching and running across the roof, often just after sunset and again before dawn. Many homes in the area are older timber Queenslanders or post-war houses with open eaves and small gaps where the roof sheets meet, and a brushtail possum only needs a gap about the size of a fist to get in.
The crew we book starts by finding every way into the roof. They check from the outside, look through the manhole if there is one, and note the main entry and any smaller gaps. Then the work goes in a simple order:
- A roof and eaves check to find the main entry and other gaps
- A one-way door fitted over the main entry point
- Sealing of the smaller gaps around the roof line
- A second visit once the roof has been quiet for a few nights
- Removal of the one-way door and sealing of that final gap
Before the visit, clear a path to the manhole and move stored boxes away from it, keep pets inside, and tell us what kind of roof you have, whether tin, tile or a mix. If branches hang over the roof, the crew may suggest trimming them back, as possums often use them to get across. Sealing matters as much as the one-way door. An open gap left behind can let the next possum in within weeks.
