A possum in the wall sounds different from one in the roof. The noise is lower down, often a scraping or thumping behind a bedroom wall or near a cupboard, and it can move around as the possum climbs. Dogs and cats often react before you do. Possums usually end up in a wall cavity by dropping down from the roof space, or by getting in through a gap low on the outside of the house. We take bookings for wall cavity possum removal in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book listens along the walls to narrow down the spot, then checks the roof space directly above for the path down. They also look outside for gaps at vents, pipe entries, cladding joins and where a deck or verandah meets the wall. Timber and fibro homes, which are still common around Peregian Beach, often have more of these small openings than brick homes. The crew will talk you through any access point before they make it.
The job may include:
- Pinpointing the section of wall the possum is in
- Finding the gap it used to get into the cavity
- A small access point if there is no other way to reach it
- Getting the possum out and sealing the gap behind it
- Closing the access point before the crew leaves
It pays to act early. A possum that cannot find its way out of a wall can die there, and the smell that observes is strong and slow to clear. If a smell has already started, mention it when you call so the crew comes ready to clean up. To book wall cavity possum removal, call 07 3543 7770 and we will arrange a local crew.
