Noise inside a wall sounds different from noise in the roof. Instead of heavy thumps overhead, you hear scratching, rustling or climbing behind a bedroom or hallway wall, often around dusk. On timber homes in Mitchelton, possums can get into the wall frame from the roof space above, from the subfloor below or through a gap in the cladding or a broken wall vent.
The crew we book works out which way the possum is getting in. They check the upper part of the wall from inside the roof space, look along the eaves outside that wall, and walk around the house checking weatherboards, wall vents, pipe holes and the gap where the wall meets the subfloor. When the gap in use is found, they fit a one-way door over it so the possum can leave but cannot get back into the wall.
Once the wall cavity is clear, the gap is sealed and other openings along the same wall are closed off too. Because walls often link up with the roof and subfloor, the crew checks all three areas together, so the noise does not just shift from one part of the house to another. Walls near trees, fences and the verandah are checked closely, as they are the easiest to reach.
