A brushtail possum in the roof is hard to ignore. It wakes up at dusk, thumps across the ceiling on its way out, then comes back before dawn and does it all again. Homes in Victoria Point see this a lot, because the suburb has so many gum trees, creeks and green corridors running between the streets.
When you call, we ask what you are hearing and when, what the roof is made of and how close the nearest trees are. You get an upfront price for the visit, and we book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book climbs into the roof cavity to find the nest and the paths the possum uses, then checks the outside of the house to find where those paths lead.
- Roof cavity checked for the nest, droppings and main paths
- Outside roofline checked to find the way in
- The possum moved out of the roof cavity
- The gap closed with mesh, flashing or sealant
- A quick walk-through of the work before the crew leaves
The way in is often not where you expect. The noise might be over the main bedroom, but the gap could be at the far end of the house under a lifted gutter or behind a whirlybird. That is why the crew looks at the whole roofline rather than guessing from the ground.
If the crew finds more gaps, droppings or soiled insulation, they tell you the price for each before doing anything. To book possum removal in Victoria Point or a suburb nearby, call 07 3543 7768 and describe what you have been hearing at night.
