Sealing the roof keeps possums out of the house, but they will still visit your yard. Possums feed on fruit trees, roses and new leaves, so gardens near creeks and parks see a lot of them. Deterrents make it harder for them to reach the roof in the first place and cut down on noise and mess outside. We take bookings for possum deterrent work in Rocklea and book an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book looks at how possums are getting onto the roof. Common routes are overhanging branches, trees close to the gutter, fences that run up to the eaves, downpipes, vines and patio posts. The crew can fit smooth metal collars around tree trunks and guards on downpipes and posts so possums cannot climb them. They can also point out which branches should be trimmed back.
Deterrents are not a replacement for sealing the roof. If there is a gap, a determined possum will find a way to it. But when proofing and deterrents are done together, the roof is much harder to reach and possums tend to move on to easier spots. Sprays and lights can help in some yards but usually work for a short time only.
