Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the other gaps stay open, another possum can soon move in. Possum proofing in Caboolture means the crew we book checks the full roof line and closes every gap a possum could use, not just the one it was using.
Many homes here have more than one weak spot. Older timber houses often have gaps under the ridge capping and around the barge boards. Newer brick homes tend to have gaps where the tiles meet the gutter, where a garage roof joins the house or around air conditioning pipes. Metal roofs can have gaps along the fascia where the sheets do not sit tight.

The crew uses materials that suit the roof, such as galvanised mesh, metal flashing, sealant and foam strip. The aim is to close each gap without changing how the roof looks from the street. Proofing is often done on the same visit as removal, so the roof is closed as soon as the possum is out. It also makes it harder for rats and mice to get in the same way.
If you have had possums before, or you can see gaps from the ground, proofing is worth doing before the next one moves in. Tell us the type of roof and roughly how old the house is. Call 07 3543 7767 and we will give you an upfront price for your home in Caboolture.
