A one-way door is the main tool used to get a possum out of a roof without trapping it inside. It gives the possum a way out and no way back in, which is what makes the rest of the proofing work. We book independent crews across Annerley to fit these doors over the entry point the possum is using, and we give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The door is a hinged flap or a short mesh tunnel fixed over the gap. When the possum heads out at dusk to feed, it pushes through easily. When it comes back before dawn, the flap will not open from the outside. The crew picks the right spot by looking for rub marks, droppings and fur around the gap, and they close the other gaps first so the door is the only way out.
The door usually stays in place for a few nights. The crew may ask you to listen for noise and tell them when the roof has gone quiet. They then come back to take the door off and seal the final gap with mesh or metal, so the roof is closed up. If you hear noise again, call us and we will pass it on to the crew.
