Possum removal is the job people in Caboolture call us about most. It usually starts with thumping above the ceiling soon after dark, then again before dawn as the possum comes home. Some people notice scratching in the eaves, a musky smell in one room or stains on the plaster. When you call, we ask what you are hearing and where, give you upfront pricing and book a local crew.
The crew we book starts inside the roof space. They look for the nest, droppings and the tracks the possum uses across the ceiling joists. Then they walk the outside of the house and check the gutters, ridge capping, eaves, vents and the joins where a patio or carport roof meets the main roof. Fur marks and worn, greasy edges usually show the main way in.
- Inspection inside the roof space and around the roof line
- Nest and entry points found and shown to you
- One-way door fitted over the main way in
- Other gaps closed with mesh, flashing or sealant
- Last gap sealed once the roof is clear
A one-way door lets the possum leave at night to feed but stops it from getting back inside. Once the roof is quiet, the crew closes that last gap. If they spot branches or fences giving the possum an easy path onto the roof, they will point them out so you can deal with them.
Homes across Caboolture range from older timber houses to new brick estates, and each has its own weak spots. To book possum removal, call 07 3543 7767 and tell us your street, the type of home and where you hear the noise.
