Roof vents are a common way in for possums around Robertson. Gable vents on older highset homes, eave vents on brick lowsets and the gap under a whirlybird can all be pushed open by a determined possum. Once inside, it has a warm, dry space with plenty of insulation to nest in.
The crew we book fits covers that keep air moving through the roof while blocking the gap. For gable and eave vents, that is usually galvanised mesh cut to size and fixed over the opening. For whirlybirds, the crew checks the base where the vent meets the roof sheeting or tiles, because that is where most gaps show up. Old or rusted vent covers can be swapped for new ones. The mesh is chosen to match the colour of the house where possible, so it does not stand out.
Vent covers are often part of a wider proofing job, but they can be booked on their own. They make sense if you have heard noise near one end of the house, found droppings near a vent or seen a possum sitting on the gable at night. The crew checks each vent from outside and from the roof space, so nothing is missed.
