How do I get a possum out of my roof?
The best answer is to hire a professional! Possums are a protected native Australian species. This means that they cannot be exterminated like many other pests found in and around a home.
We’re experts in possum removal & possum control and in possum proofing your home to avoid future invasions. If you’re hearing noises in your walls or roof we’ll inspect your home to confirm the identity of your intruder.
If it’s a possum we’ll identify all entry & exit points. We’ll then permanently block up all these access points using metal grill and metal flashing. The next step is to install a temporary one-way door. The one-way door will allow the possum to exit your property. As it would suggest, the one-way door will not allow the possum to get back in.
Once satisfied that your possum is no longer residing in your home, we will return to remove the one-way door and permanently seal the final entry point. A final inspection is also completed on your home to ensure possum proofing is complete and secure.
