Sometimes a possum is not in the roof yet, but it is running across it every night, sitting on the deck or getting into the verandah roof. Possum deterrents make your home less inviting before a problem starts, or after proofing to make the roof less appealing. We book independent crews across Annerley for this work, with upfront pricing given on the phone.
The crew looks at how possums are reaching your home. Common routes are overhanging branches, fences that run up to the eaves, power lines and climbing plants on walls. Blocking the easy routes makes the roof harder to reach. They can fit smooth collars or guards to posts and downpipes, add guards along fence lines that run close to the roof and apply a scent deterrent to areas where possums sit or cross.
Deterrents are most useful as part of a bigger plan. They do not replace sealing the roof, but they can make a roof less appealing and cut down on night-time noise on the deck and verandah. Scent deterrents need to be reapplied from time to time, especially after heavy rain. The crew will tell you which options suit your home and which ones are not worth the money.
