If something heavy is thumping across your ceiling after dark, there is a good chance a possum has moved into the roof. It is one of the most common calls we take from homes in Windsor. The noise often starts soon after sunset, goes quiet for a few hours, then starts again before dawn. When you call, we ask a few questions, give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent crew.
The crew we book starts outside, walking the roof line to look for gaps at the ridge, eaves, valleys and gutters. Then they go into the roof space to find the nest, the droppings trail and the path the possum uses. Getting the possum out of the roof comes first. Once it has gone, the gaps are closed so it cannot squeeze back in. A typical visit includes:
- A look at the outside roof line and any branches touching the roof
- An inspection of the roof space to find the nest
- Getting the possum out of the roof space
- Sealing the entry gaps with mesh, flashing or sealant
- A walk-through of what was found and what was done
Many roofs need a little extra work at the same time, such as clearing droppings or treating a strong smell over the nest. The crew points this out and you decide on the day. Nothing extra is done without your say, and the price for any extra work is given before it starts.
To book possum removal in Windsor, call 07 3543 7771. Tell us where the noise is loudest and whether the roof is tin or tile, and we will give you a price and a time. Visits can often be same-day or next-day where the run allows.
