If you are lying awake to heavy footsteps over the ceiling, you are not alone. Possum removal is the most common job people in Mitchelton call us about. A possum has found a way into the roof or a wall, made a den in the insulation and settled into a routine: out after dark, back before dawn. That routine is what the crew we book uses to clear it.
The visit starts with a close look at the house. The crew walks the roofline and goes up into the ceiling space, looking for fresh droppings, flattened insulation, dark rub marks and gaps near where the noise is coming from. Once they find the gap in use, they seal any other nearby openings and fit a one-way door over it. When the possum heads out at night, it cannot get back in the same way.
After the roof space is clear, the one-way door comes off and the gap is closed with materials that suit the roof, such as flashing, mesh, new mortar or timber. The crew then points out other weak spots on the house and gives you a price to seal them, so you can decide whether to close them off on the same visit. That way, you are not left waiting for the next possum to find the same weak point.
