A one-way door is a simple piece of kit that does a lot of the work in possum removal. It is a short tunnel of mesh or a hinged flap fitted over the gap a possum has been using to get into the roof or a wall. When the possum heads out after dark, it can push through the door easily. Coming back, the door stays shut and there is no way to push it open from outside.
The key is making sure the door covers the only way in. Before fitting it, the crew we book checks the roof and walls for other gaps and seals them, so the possum cannot simply use a different opening. They then confirm which gap is in use by looking for fresh rub marks, droppings and scratches, and fit the door firmly to the tiles, iron, fascia or cladding so it cannot be pushed aside.
The door usually stays in place for a few nights. Once the roof or wall cavity is quiet and clear, it comes off and the gap is sealed with materials that suit the house. On homes in Mitchelton with complicated rooflines or several gaps, the crew may need more than one door, and you will be told about this and the price before the work starts.
