A possum above the ceiling is hard to ignore. The thumping starts around dusk, the scratching carries on near the cornices, and some nights there is loud growling or screeching as possums argue over space. It can keep the whole house awake. We take bookings for ceiling possum removal in Middle Park and book an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book goes up through the manhole to see where the possum has been sleeping. Nests are often tucked against the eaves, near downlights or over a warm room such as a bedroom or the lounge. The crew checks for droppings, wet or matted insulation and any damage to wiring or ducts, and tells you what they find.
Next, they work out how the possum gets from outside to the ceiling. On a tiled roof that might be a loose tile or a gap under the ridge. On a home with a patio or pergola, it could be the join where the lower roof meets the house. A one-way door goes over the main way in, and the other openings are sealed. Once the ceiling is quiet, the crew returns to take the door off and close the last gap.
