Possums are part of coastal living, but not when they are living above your bedroom. If you are woken by heavy footsteps overhead, hear scuffling in the eaves at dusk, or notice a musky smell in one part of the house, a possum has probably found its way into the roof. We take bookings for possum removal in Peregian Beach and arrange a nearby independent crew to come out. You get upfront pricing on the phone before anything is booked.
The crew we book begins outside, walking the roof line and looking for rub marks, scratches, droppings on the ground and branches that touch the gutter. Then they head into the roof space to find the nest and the gap the possum uses. They take a torch and look for flattened insulation and fresh droppings. With that sorted, they get the possum out of the roof and close the gap so it has no easy way back in. On bush blocks, they also look at the trees and fences that give possums a path up.
Here is what the visit usually covers:
- A walk around the house to spot signs of use
- A check of the roof space for the nest and entry gap
- Getting the possum out of the roof
- Sealing the entry with sheet metal, mesh or sealant
- A run-down of what was found and done
Homes in Peregian Beach back onto heath, paperbarks and gums, so possums tend to test every roof in the street. Sorting the gap they use is what makes the difference. If there is a smell or mess left behind, you can add a cleanup on the same visit. Call 07 3543 7770 to book possum removal and we will arrange a local crew.
