If you are lying awake listening to heavy footsteps across the ceiling, you are not alone. Possum removal is the most common call we take from Kallangur. Brushtail possums love the warm, dry space above a ceiling, and older roofs across the suburb give them plenty of ways in. We ask a few questions on the phone, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
The visit starts in the roof cavity. The crew we book looks for the nest, the droppings and the runways the possum uses, then heads outside to check the roof line. They look closely at ridge capping, valleys, gutters, eave lining, gable vents and any spot where a carport or patio roof meets the house. Dark rub marks and fur usually show the main entry.
Next, the crew seals the smaller gaps and fits an exclusion door over the main entry. The possum leaves at night as usual and cannot get back inside. Once the roof is clear, the door comes off and the final gap is sealed. The crew then walks you through what they did and anything else they noticed. If you have pets that sleep outside, mention them, since the crew may need the yard clear while ladders are up.
- Roof cavity inspection to find the nest and runways
- Roof line check for every gap in use
- Exclusion door over the main entry
- Remaining gaps sealed with mesh, flashing or sealant
- Waste clean-up and odour treatment if you want them
Most homes in Kallangur have more than one way in, so sealing the whole roof line is what keeps the noise from starting again. To book possum removal, call 07 3543 7773 and tell us where and when you hear it.
