A possum settling into the roof cavity in Acacia Ridge usually shows up as heavy footsteps overhead just after dark, then quiet for most of the night and more movement again before dawn. Call 07 3543 7768 and describe what you are hearing, and we book a local crew to check the roof space and the roofline from outside.
Getting a possum out of a roof cavity starts with finding the gap it is using, rather than going straight into the roof space. The crew looks along the ridge capping, around roof vents, under loose tiles and at any point where the roofline meets an extension, carport or patio, since these joins often open up small gaps over time, sometimes left over from a service gap that was never sealed properly when the house was built or extended.
Once the entry point in Acacia Ridge is confirmed, a one-way door is fitted over it so the possum can leave the cavity, but the door will not open again from the roof side. A return visit checks the cavity is clear before that opening, and any others nearby, are sealed. The crew also checks whether the roof cavity connects to a nearby wall space at the wall plate.
