A possum in a wall sounds different from one in the ceiling. You hear scratching and shuffling at head height, often moving up and down, and sometimes a smell if a young possum has become stuck. We book independent crews across South Brisbane that can trace a possum in a wall cavity and get it out, with upfront pricing given before the visit.
Most wall cavity possums get in from the roof. They find a gap where the roof meets the wall, drop down inside the frame and settle in a quiet spot. In older cottages, gaps in weatherboards or under windows can also lead into the wall. The crew checks the wall plates from the roof space, then looks outside for gaps in cladding, vents and pipe entries.
Once the entry is found, a one-way door is fitted so the possum can climb out and not return. When the wall is quiet, the opening is sealed with mesh or metal. If there is a strong smell, the crew can talk you through finding and removing a dead animal from the cavity, which sometimes means a small access hole. The crew explains any access hole and where it will go before cutting anything.
