A one-way door is the main tool the crew uses to get a possum out of your roof. It is a short tunnel or hinged flap fitted over the main entry point. At night the possum pushes out through it to feed, but when it comes back, the flap will not open from the outside. We book one-way door installs across Rocklea with a nearby independent crew.
Before the door goes on, the crew we book finds the main entry by looking for rub marks, fur, droppings and worn paths along the roof. All the other gaps are closed first so the door is the only way out. If other gaps were left open, the possum would simply use one of those to get back in.
The door stays in place for a night or more, until the crew is sure the roof is empty. Signs include quiet nights, no fresh droppings and no movement past the door. The crew tells you what to look and listen for while the door is on, so you can tell us when the noise stops. Then the door is taken off and the last gap is sealed with mesh or sheet metal to match the rest of the work.
