Possum removal is the most common booking we take from Inner Brisbane. It usually starts with thumping across the ceiling after dark, scratching in a wall or a smell coming through the light fittings. Possums are heavy animals, and a single brushtail can keep a whole household awake. We take down the details over the phone and book a nearby independent crew who handles possum jobs across the inner suburbs every week.
On the day, the crew we book inspects the roof from the outside and from inside the ceiling space. They look for the main entry point, which often shows as a worn, dirty or fur-marked gap, along with any other spots the possum could use. The usual approach is to fit a one-way door over the main gap and seal the others, so the possum can leave the roof at night but cannot get back in. Once the roof is clear, the one-way door comes off and the last gap is sealed.
Homes in Inner Brisbane are often timber Queenslanders and workers' cottages with tin roofs, open eaves and plenty of trees nearby, so there can be more than one way in. The crew will show you what they found and explain the plan before starting, and they can add a clean-up or odour treatment if the ceiling space needs it. Mention any renovations or extensions when you call, since the join between old and new roofs is a common way in.
