The one-way door is how the crew gets a possum out of the roof. It is a short tunnel or flap made of mesh that fits over the main entry. The possum can push out through it when it leaves to feed, but the flap stays shut when it tries to come back. It is simple, and it works with the possum's normal habits. We book one-way door work across Middle Park with an independent crew that works nearby.
Getting the door in the right place matters. The crew we book finds the main entry by looking for rub marks, fur snagged on edges, droppings and worn paths across the tiles or iron. Every other gap is sealed first, so the door is the only way out. Otherwise, the possum would simply come back in through another gap.
The door usually stays on for a night or two. The crew tells you what to listen for, and when the ceiling goes quiet and no fresh droppings appear, the door comes off. The last gap is then closed with mesh or sheet metal. On tiled roofs the door can be fitted at the ridge or under a lifted tile, and on eaves it can sit over a gap in the boards.
