Most possum calls start at night. Something heavy runs across the ceiling just after dark, there is scratching near the eaves, and sometimes a loud hiss or screech. Homes across Western Brisbane hear this more than most, because the river bends, bushland and big gardens here are full of brushtail possums. Once one finds a gap into a dry roof space, it will treat it as home.
When you ring, we ask what you are hearing and when, what kind of roof you have and where the manhole is. We give you the price before the visit and book an independent crew that works nearby. The crew goes into the roof space to find where the possum sleeps, then checks the roof line outside to find the gap it uses.
- Roof space checked for droppings, nests and stained timber
- Roof line checked for gaps, loose capping and broken vents
- Possum taken out of the roof space
- Each gap sealed with mesh, flashing or capping
- Photos of what was found and the work done
The sealing step is what stops the noise. A possum moved out of the roof but left with an open gap will usually be back within a night or two. The crew we book looks at every section of the roof, including patios, carports and branches over the tin, and tells you about anything else they spot.
Many jobs in Western Brisbane can be booked same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book possum removal and get the price first, call 07 3543 7769 and we will line up a nearby crew.
