Scratching or bumping inside a wall is a sign that a possum has found its way into a wall cavity. This often happens in brick veneer and timber-framed homes around Sunnybank Hills, where the cavity runs up to the roof space or opens behind loose eave lining. The noise is usually loudest at dusk and before dawn. Some people also notice a smell near a skirting board or cupboard.
We take the call, give you upfront pricing and book a local team. The crew we book traces the cavity up to where it meets the roof or eave, because that is where a possum gets in and out. Other gaps are sealed, then a one-way door is fitted over that opening. Once the cavity is clear, the door comes off and the opening is closed and proofed.
- Tell us which room and which wall the noise is in
- Note whether it is low down or near the ceiling
- Check outside for loose eave boards above that wall
- Keep children and pets away from the work area on the day
The crew works from the roof space and outside the home, so in most cases there is no need to cut into your walls. If a small access hole is needed, they explain why and tell you the price before doing it. Wall cavity jobs can be booked alongside a droppings clean-up or roof gap sealing if the roof above needs work too.
Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. For wall cavity possum removal in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765 and tell us where in the house you are hearing it.
