A one-way door is one of the main tools used to get a possum out of the roof. It is a hinged flap or tunnel fitted over the gap the possum is using. When the possum heads out at night, it pushes through the flap, but the flap will not open from the outside, so it cannot get back into the roof. In Inner Brisbane, it is a common part of most possum jobs. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who fits one-way doors across the inner suburbs.
Getting the placement right matters. The crew we book first finds the main entry point, usually by looking for fur, rub marks and droppings around a gap. They then seal any other gaps so the one-way door is the only way out. The door is fastened firmly over the gap so it cannot be pushed aside or pulled open.
The door usually stays in place for a few nights. Once the crew is sure the roof is clear, for example when there is no new noise and no fresh droppings, the door comes off and the gap is sealed with mesh or flashing. The crew will explain how long to leave it and what to listen for. Homes in Inner Brisbane with several possums may need more than one visit to finish the job.
