Roof vents, wall vents, whirlybird bases and open eaves let air move through the roof, but they can also let animals in. Many homes in Victoria Point have vents that have cracked, lost their covers or loosened over the years, and open eaves on older houses can leave the roof cavity exposed along a whole wall. Vent and gap mesh closes these openings without blocking the airflow, so the roof still vents heat on hot afternoons.
The crew we book checks every vent, eave section and service gap around the house. Where there is an opening, they cut galvanised mesh to size and fasten it in place so air still passes through but possums and rodents cannot. Gaps around pipes, cables and air-conditioning lines are closed with mesh collars and sealant.

This work is handy if you have had rats or mice as well as possums, since rodents use many of the same openings. It is often done as part of full possum proofing, but it can also be booked on its own if you have noticed a problem on one side of the house.
You get an upfront price when you call, and the crew confirms the number of vents and gaps on the day before starting. To book vent and gap mesh at your home in Victoria Point, call 07 3543 7768 and describe the areas you are worried about.
