Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the other gaps stay open, another possum can move in within weeks, drawn by the smell of the old nest. Possum proofing in Springwood means going over the whole roof line and closing every opening a possum could squeeze through, not just the one that was being used.

The crew we book checks the roof from the ground, from a ladder and from inside the roof space. Daylight coming through from outside is a good clue, so they often look for gaps from inside with the torch off. They also note branches that touch the roof, since a possum can use them to reach any gap left open. Each opening is then sealed with a material that suits the spot and the roof type.

  • Cracked or loose ridge capping on tiled roofs
  • Gaps between gutters, fascia boards and tiles
  • Open ends where roof sections or extensions meet
  • Holes around pipes, vents and cables entering the roof
  • Gaps at the edges of metal roof sheets

Galvanised mesh is used for most openings because possums cannot chew through it. Metal flashing works well along roof joins, and sealant fills smaller cracks. The work is kept tidy and matched as closely as possible to the colour of the roof so it does not stand out from the street.

Many homes in Springwood have had additions over the years, and the join between the old and new roof is a common weak spot. To book possum proofing, call 07 3543 7768 and we will give you an upfront price.

Possum Proofing FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Possum Proofing

Questions we hear most often about Possum Proofing in Springwood.

Talk to a real person
How do I tell if it is a possum or a rat in my roof?
Possums are heavy, so you usually hear thumping and running, mostly after dark and again just before dawn. Rats make lighter, quicker scratching sounds and are often busy right through the night. Possum droppings are larger pellets, around one to two centimetres long, while rat droppings look like dark grains of rice. The crew we book can check if you are unsure.
How soon can a crew get to me?
It depends on where the crews are working that day. Visits can often be same-day or next-day where the run allows. If you call in the morning, there is a better chance of an earlier slot. We will tell you the time when you book, so you can plan your day around it.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Clear a path to the manhole, which is often in a hallway or wardrobe ceiling. Move cars away from the side of the house if the crew needs a ladder there, and keep dogs inside or in a closed yard. Make a note of where and when you hear the noise, as that helps the crew find the nest sooner.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
Yes, in most cases. The crew needs to get into the roof space through the manhole inside the house, and they will want to show you the entry points and talk through what was sealed. If you cannot be there, another adult can let them in. Mention this when you book on 07 3543 7768.
Why do possums move into roofs?
A roof space is dry, dark and warm, much like a hollow in an old tree. In suburbs like Springwood, many of the big old trees with hollows have been cleared over the years, so possums look for the next closest thing. A lifted tile or a gap at the eaves gives them an easy way in, and once inside, they tend to stay.
