A one-way door is one of the most common tools the crews we book use in Robertson. It is a short mesh tunnel with a hinged flap at the end. The crew fits it over the main gap the possum uses to come and go. At night the possum pushes out through the flap to feed, and when it comes back the flap will not open from the outside. It is a simple setup, but it only works well if it is fitted in the right spot.
Before the door goes on, the crew seals every other gap they can find. This matters because a possum that cannot get back through the door will look for another way in. If a second gap is left open, it will use that instead. Getting the sealing right is the part of the job that takes the most time.
The door usually stays in place for a few nights. The crew may leave a light on in the roof space so it feels less like a place to sleep. Once they are sure the roof is empty, the door is taken off and the main entry is sealed with mesh or metal to match the rest of the proofing.
