Taking a possum out of the roof does not help much if the door is left open behind it. Possum proofing is the work that closes those doors, and it is the step that makes the removal worth doing. We take bookings for possum proofing in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew to go over your roof line and seal the gaps a possum could use. You get upfront pricing on the phone first.
The crew we book looks at the roof from the outside and the inside. From outside, they check eaves, fascia boards, ridge capping, valleys, vents and the places where decks, pergolas and carports join the house. From inside the roof space, they look for daylight coming through and for tracks in the insulation that lead to a gap. They then seal each gap with the right material, such as folded sheet metal, heavy mesh or sealant.
A possum proofing visit may cover:
- Eave and fascia gaps closed with metal or mesh
- Gaps under ridge capping and around loose tiles sealed
- Gable vents and whirlybird bases meshed
- Gaps around pipes, cables and air conditioning lines filled
- Joins between decks, pergolas and the main roof sealed
- Advice on branches and fences that give possums a way up
Proofing usually happens right after the possum has left the roof, so nothing is shut inside. It can also be booked on its own if you have had possums before or you live beside the bush. In Peregian Beach, salt air and summer storms both wear on roof edges, so gaps open up over time. The crew will show you what they sealed. To book possum proofing, call 07 3543 7770 and we will line up a local team.
