Possum removal is the main job we book in Robertson. It usually starts with a call about thumping in the ceiling after dark, a smell near the manhole or stains spreading across the plaster. We ask where the noise is, how long it has been going on and what kind of roof you have. Then we give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits you.
On the day, the crew checks the roof space and the outside of the house. They look for fresh droppings, rub marks on timber and fur caught on tiles or fascia. That tells them where the possum sleeps and how it gets in and out. Most roofs have one main entry point and a few smaller gaps that could become the next one.
The crew then gets the possum out of the roof. In most homes this means fitting a one-way door over the main entry so the possum can leave at night but cannot get back in. The other gaps are sealed straight away. Once the roof is clear, the door comes off and the final gap is closed.
- A roof space check with a torch, and a camera where access is tight
- Entry points marked and shown to you before work starts
- A one-way door fitted over the main entry
- Smaller gaps sealed with mesh or metal on the same visit
- Advice on branches, vents and anything else that gives possums a way up
Removal holds up far better when proofing is done at the same time, so the crew talks you through both options and the cost of each. To book possum removal anywhere in Robertson, call 07 3543 7773 and we will line up a local crew.
