The roof cavity is where most possums end up. The space between the roof and the ceiling is dark, dry and sheltered from the coastal wind and rain, and the insulation makes a soft bed. In Peregian Beach, where so many homes sit under gums and paperbarks, a possum only needs a single loose tile or a gap at the eaves to move in. Brushtails in particular like to settle in for the long run. Once one does, you tend to hear it every night.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book climbs into the roof cavity to find the nest, which is often near the eaves or above a warm spot like the kitchen or a bathroom. They trace the path back to the gap the possum is using, get the possum out of the roof cavity and close the gap so it cannot simply walk back in.
Roof cavity work often includes:
- Finding the nest inside the roof space
- Tracing the route to the entry gap
- Getting the possum out of the roof cavity
- Sealing the gap with metal, mesh or sealant
- Moving soiled nesting material away from the ceiling
- Checking for a second gap on the other side of the roof
Low-pitched roofs and homes with little clearance can be tight to move through, so tell us about your roof when you call. Some homes have a mother with young, which can mean a second visit. The crew will explain their plan before starting, and they will also point out any branches worth trimming.
