A possum moving into the roof is one of the most common calls we take from across Hendra. Most people first notice it at night, when thumping and scratching start up directly overhead, sometimes paired with a musky smell or droppings turning up near a window or the back door. This happens just as often in older weatherboard homes as it does in newer brick and colorbond builds, since it only takes one gap for a possum to get started. We take your call, give you a price and book a local crew to sort it out.
The crew we book starts with an inspection, checking the roof space for the nest and the path the possum is using, then walking the outside of the house to check the eaves, gutters, ridge and vents. Most inspections take under an hour, though a bigger or harder to reach roof can take a little more time. Once the possum is out of the roof, the crew closes the gap behind it. A typical removal visit covers:
- An inspection of the roof space and the roofline from outside
- Finding the nest and the entry point being used
- Getting the possum out of the roof space
- Sealing the entry with mesh, flashing or sealant
- A rundown of what was found and what was done
If other weak spots turn up during the inspection, the crew will point them out and price closing them off as well. Plenty of people across Hendra choose to have the whole roofline proofed in the same visit, and a clean-up for droppings or smell can be added on too if you want it.
