The roof space is where most possums in Inner Brisbane set up. It is dark, dry and out of the weather, and in older homes there is often a gap somewhere along the ridge, gutters or eaves that a possum can squeeze through. Once inside, they sleep during the day and head out after dusk, which is why the noise tends to start as the sun goes down. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who handles roof possum jobs every week.
The crew we book starts outside, walking around the house to check the roofline, gable vents, eaves, gutters and any trees or wires touching the roof. They then go into the ceiling space with a torch to find where the possum has been sleeping and which gap it is using. Fresh droppings, flattened insulation and dark rub marks around a gap are all clues.
Once they have found the main entry, the crew fits a one-way door so the possum can leave but not return, and seals the other gaps with mesh, flashing or other suitable materials. When the roof is clear, the door comes off and the final gap is closed. Tin roofs on older Inner Brisbane homes often need extra attention where sheets have lifted or rusted at the edges.

If the noise has been going on for a while, tell us, since a longer stay usually means more clean-up. Call 07 3543 7767 to book roof possum removal.
