A possum in the roof usually announces itself with thumping and scratching after dark, sometimes with droppings showing up in the ceiling cavity or along the top of a wall. In Goodna, calls like this come in year round, though they tend to pick up when the weather cools and possums look for a dry, quiet place to settle.
The crew we book starts by walking the roofline from outside, checking the eaves, vents, fascia boards and any gap where a possum could be squeezing through. Once the entry point is found, a one-way door is fitted over it. This lets the possum leave in its own time but stops it getting back in through the same gap, so there is no need to go chasing anything around the ceiling cavity.
After the roof has stayed clear for a few nights, the crew comes back to seal the entry point properly and check the rest of the roofline for other weak spots. Loose flashing, gaps around pipes and broken vents all get a look, since a roof that has let one possum in is often an easy target for the next one too.
