If you are hearing heavy footsteps, thumps or scratching above the ceiling at night, a possum has most likely moved into your roof. It is the call we get most from Mango Hill. Brushtail possums like the warm, dark space above a ceiling, and newer two-storey homes have as many small gaps as older ones. We ask what you are hearing, give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew.
The crew we book starts in the roof space with a torch. They look for droppings, nest material, stained insulation and the worn paths possums leave along the timber. Outside, they check every roof level, including the lower roof over the garage or alfresco area, the gutter line, ridge capping, barge ends and any gaps around pipes and solar frames. Fur caught on rough edges and dark rub marks often point to the main entry.
Once the gaps are found, a one-way door goes over each entry point in use and the other gaps are sealed with mesh, flashing or sealant. When the roof space is quiet, the doors come off and the final gaps are sealed and proofed. The crew explains what they found and shows you the sealed spots.
- Roof space check for nests and droppings
- Every roof level checked from outside
- One-way doors over the entry points in use
- Other gaps sealed with mesh, flashing or sealant
- Clean-up and odour treatment on request
Homes in Mango Hill often have gaps on more than one roof level, which is why the crew proofs the whole roof line. Mention any pets, side gates or solar panels when you call. To book possum removal, call 07 3543 7771 and describe what you are hearing and where.
