The one-way door is the tool at the centre of possum removal. It is a short tunnel or flap made from mesh or metal, screwed firmly over the gap a possum uses. When the possum heads out at night, it pushes through the door. When it comes back, the door will not open from outside. We book a nearby independent crew to install these for homes across Graceville, with upfront pricing given on the phone.
Where the door goes makes all the difference. If the roof has two or three gaps, the possum will just use a different one. So before installing the door, the crew we book checks the full roof line and blocks the smaller gaps. That leaves the door as the only way out.
Once installed, the door stays in place for a few nights. You should notice the house going quiet. If you still hear movement, call us and the crew will return to look for another gap. When all is quiet, the door is removed and the gap is sealed so it cannot be used again. The door is sized to the gap and angled so the possum can find it easily in the dark. On iron roofs it often sits at the gutter line, and on tile roofs near a ridge or valley.
