A one-way door is the simple device at the heart of most possum removal jobs. It is a hinged flap or short mesh tunnel that fits over the gap a possum uses to get into a roof or wall cavity. It swings outwards but not inwards, so that gap stops working as a way back in. We book local teams that fit these for homes across Sunnybank Hills.
Getting the door in the right place is what matters most. The crew we book looks for the entry with the clearest signs of use: dark rub marks, fur, and a worn path in the dust or insulation nearby. Every other gap is sealed first so the door covers the only way out. The door is then fixed to the roof sheet, tile, fascia or eave so it sits firmly in place.
- Main entry picked from signs of regular use
- All other gaps sealed before fitting
- Door fixed firmly to suit the roof type
- Left in place for a few nights
- Removed and the gap closed and proofed
While the door is on, the crew may ask you to listen for noise at dusk. The timing depends on the roof and on what the crew sees. When it has gone quiet for a few nights, they return, take the door off and seal the opening. If you still hear movement, ring us and we will pass it on to the crew.
Upfront pricing is given on the phone before the first visit. Tell us about the roof type when you call so the crew brings the right fixings. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book one-way door fitting in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765.
