When you call about possum removal in Capalaba, we ask a few quick questions about where you are hearing movement and how long it has been going on, then book a local team to come and take a proper look. Most calls involve noise in the roof space at dusk or dawn, scratching in a wall cavity, or a possum coming and going through a broken tile or a gap around the eaves. The crew we book checks the roof void, the wall cavities and the subfloor to work out exactly how the possum is getting in and out before any work starts.
The approach used across Capalaba focuses on a one way door fitted over the entry point the possum is actually using. Once the door is in place, the possum can leave through it but cannot get back inside, and the gap is then sealed once the roof space is clear. Any other soft spots nearby, such as lifted flashing, gaps under ridge capping or broken vents, are proofed at the same time so a new possum cannot move straight back in through a different spot.
Before the visit, it helps to note where the noise is loudest and roughly what time of day you hear it, and to clear access to the manhole or roof space if you can do so safely. On the day, the crew will walk the outside of the roofline as well as check inside, since most repeat problems come from an entry point that was missed the first time around.
