Scratching inside a wall, especially near the floor or behind a wardrobe, can mean a possum has found its way into a wall cavity. This is common in older Inner Brisbane homes, where timber walls, lined verandahs and gaps between the roof and wall frames give possums a path down from the ceiling. A possum stuck in a wall can be noisy and stressed, and the smell can come through quickly. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who handles this kind of job.
The crew we book first works out how the possum got into the wall. Often it has come down from the roof space through a gap where the wall frame meets the roof. Sometimes it has climbed in through a gap under the floor, a broken vent or a hole in the outside cladding. Once they find the entry, they fit a one-way door there or open a clear way out, and seal the other gaps so the possum can leave but not return.
Wall cavity jobs can be trickier than roof jobs because access is tighter. Sometimes a small access hole is needed, and the crew will talk this through with you and give upfront pricing before cutting anything. In renovated homes, new plasterboard walls are often easier to work with than old timber boards. Weatherboard homes with gaps in the boards or around windows may also need sealing from the outside.
