A one-way door is the main tool used for possum removal from roofs and wall cavities. It is a small hinged flap or mesh tunnel fitted over the main entry point. It opens outwards only, so the space can be cleared without that entry being used to get back in. We book a nearby independent crew to fit these for homes in Woodridge.
Finding the right spot is the key part. The crew we book looks for the main entry, which usually shows rub marks, fur and dark staining around the edges. Before the door goes on, they seal the other gaps so there is only one way out. The door is then fixed firmly to the roof or eave so it cannot be pushed aside. On metal roofs it is often fixed at the gutter line, and on tile roofs near the ridge or a broken tile.
- Main entry found from signs around the gap
- Other gaps sealed first so only one exit is left
- Door fixed firmly to the roof, eave or fascia
- Door left in place for a few nights
- Door taken off and the gap sealed and proofed
How long the door stays on depends on the roof and what the crew sees. Many jobs need a few nights. The crew tells you what to listen for and when they will come back to take the door off and close the gap. If you still hear noise after a few nights, call us and we will pass it on.
You get upfront pricing before the visit, and the crew explains each step and its price before starting. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book one-way door fitting in Woodridge, call 07 3543 7766.
