A possum in the roof is a common problem for homes in Bridgeman Downs. Most people notice it after dark, when heavy thumping and scratching start above a bedroom or the lounge. Others notice a musky smell, yellow stains on the ceiling or droppings near the back door. We take your call, give you an upfront price and book a local crew to deal with it.
The crew we book starts by looking through the roof space for the nest and the paths the possum uses. They then walk around the outside of the house, checking the eaves, gutters, ridge capping and vents. Once they have found the way in, they get the possum out of the roof and close the gap so it cannot get straight back inside. A removal visit usually includes:
- An inspection inside the roof space and along the roof line
- Finding the nest and the main entry point
- Getting the possum out of the roof space
- Sealing the entry with mesh, flashing or sealant
- A short run-through of what was found and done
If the crew spots other gaps a possum could use later, they will show you and give you a price to close them too. Many people in Bridgeman Downs choose to have the whole roof line proofed on the same day. Droppings and smells can also be dealt with on the same visit if you want. The crew can also put a guard on a tree that gives the possum an easy path to the gutter.
