Possums are part of life in Sunnybank Hills. The leafy streets, big backyard trees and nearby bushland give them plenty of places to live, and a roof with a small gap can look like a good spot to move into. If you are hearing thumping overhead at night, ring us. We take the details, give you upfront pricing and book a local team that works near you.
The crew we book begins by working out how the possum is getting in. They check the roof space for droppings, fur and flattened insulation, and walk the outside of the home looking at the gutters, eaves, capping and vents. Once the main entry is found, the other gaps are closed and a one-way door is fixed over that entry.
- Roof space and roof line checked for entry points
- Secondary gaps sealed before the door goes on
- One-way door fixed over the main entry
- Door removed and the opening sealed once the roof is clear
- Weak spots proofed with mesh, flashing or packing
The door usually stays on for a few nights. After that, the crew comes back, takes it off and seals the opening. They talk you through each step, and if they spot extra work such as a clean-up or new insulation, they tell you the price before going ahead. Most homes need just the one set of visits, though larger or older roofs can take a little longer.
Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. You can also ask us about proofing the whole roof line while the crew is there. To book possum removal in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765 and tell us what you are hearing and where.
