An exclusion door is the usual way the crews we book move a possum out of a roof in Kallangur. It is a short mesh tunnel with a flap at the far end that only swings outward. The possum can push through it to leave, but it cannot push back in. Because possums leave the roof each night to feed, the door works with their normal routine.
The crew first finds the main entry, the one with the most wear, grease and fur. They seal every other gap so that entry is the only way out, then fit the exclusion door over it. The door stays in place for a few nights. During that time you may hear the possum on the roof trying to get back in, which is normal and usually stops within a few nights.
When the roof is quiet, the crew comes back, checks the roof cavity to confirm it is empty, removes the door and seals the final gap. During the breeding season they take extra time to check for young in the nest before closing up. If noises continue after a few nights, it usually means a second gap, and the crew will find and seal it.

Exclusion doors suit tiled, tin and timber roofs, as well as sheds and carports. Mention any skylights, solar panels or air conditioning units on the roof, since these can hide extra gaps.
