Sometimes the scratching is not overhead but inside a wall. Possums can drop from the roof into a wall cavity or get in through a gap in the cladding, a vent or a broken board low on the house. The noise often sounds closer and louder than a roof possum, and it can move up and down as the animal climbs. We take the call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew for your home in Indooroopilly.
The crew we book works out where the wall cavity connects to the outside. In timber homes this is often where the wall frame meets the roof space, or behind a loose weatherboard. In brick homes it may be an open vent or a gap where a pipe or cable runs through the wall. They look from the roof space, from outside and sometimes from under the house.
Once the entry is found, a one-way door is fitted over it. The possum can leave the cavity but cannot get back inside. When the wall has been quiet for a few nights, the crew removes the door and seals the gap so the cavity stays closed. If a wall is hard to reach, the crew explains the options before doing more.
- Tracing the path from wall to roof or outside
- One-way door fitted at the entry point
- Sealing of cladding gaps, vents and pipe holes
- Checks of nearby walls for other weak spots
Wall cavities can be harder to read than roofs, so the crew takes the time to find the true entry. If you are hearing noise inside the walls of a Indooroopilly home, call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a crew for you.
