Eaves and vents are some of the easiest ways for a possum to get into a roof. Open eaves on older timber homes, gaps behind the fascia, and roof or wall vents without a screen are all common entry points. We book a nearby independent crew to screen these gaps on homes across Indooroopilly, with upfront pricing given when you call.
The crew we book checks the eaves all the way around the house, looking for missing or broken lining boards, gaps where the eave meets the wall and spots where the fascia has pulled away. They also check roof ventilators, gable vents, wall vents and any openings under the house. Each gap is covered with galvanised mesh or closed with new timber, screwed down firmly so a possum cannot pull it loose.
Screening keeps air moving through the roof space while keeping possums out. That matters in older Queenslanders, where open eaves were built to help the house stay cool. The crew picks a mesh size that lets air through but stops a possum from squeezing past. Brick homes with boxed eaves are checked too, since the lining boards can sag or come loose with age.

Eave and vent screening is often booked with a removal job, but it can also be done on its own as proofing. If your Indooroopilly home has open eaves or unscreened vents, call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a crew to close them off.
