Possum removal is the job most people call us about in Sunnybank. The signs are hard to miss. There is thumping and running in the ceiling after dark, scratching near the eaves around dawn, and sometimes a musty smell or a brown stain on a bedroom ceiling. Brushtail possums sleep through the day in dark, dry places, and a roof with an open gap suits them well.
When you ring, we ask where you hear the noise, what your roof is made of and whether branches touch the house. You get upfront pricing on the phone, and we book a nearby crew for a time that works for you. The crew starts inside the roof space, looking for droppings, flattened insulation and light coming through gaps. Then they walk the outside of the house to find the spot the possum uses to come and go.
Once they find it, they close any other openings and fit a one-way door over the main one. At night the possum heads out to feed, pushes through the flap and cannot get back in. When the roof has been quiet for a night or two, the crew takes the door off and seals the gap with galvanised mesh or flashing.
- Roof space and outside checks to find the way in
- Other gaps closed so there is one exit
- A one-way door fitted over the main entry
- The last gap sealed once the roof is empty
- Upfront pricing before the crew comes out
