The house is not the only place a possum can live. Sheds, garages, carports and pool houses offer dry shelter too, and many are easier to get into than the main roof. On larger blocks around Victoria Point, a possum pushed out of the house will often move into the shed next door and keep coming back to the roof at night.
The crew we book checks each outbuilding for nests, droppings and the gaps a possum is using. Common spots include open gable ends, gaps under roof sheets, spaces above roller doors and holes where walls meet the roof. They also look at how the possum is getting from the shed to the house, such as a fence, tree or connecting roof.

Stored items can make it hard to see into the roof of a shed, so it helps if you clear a path to the back wall and move anything leaning against it. If the shed has a lot of droppings, the crew can price a clean-up as well.
Shed and garage proofing is often booked on the same visit as possum work on the house, so the whole property is covered at once. You get the price for each building before work starts.
