A one-way door is a simple device with a big job. It is a short tunnel or hinged flap screwed over the gap a possum uses, and it only opens outward. When the possum heads out to feed, it pushes through. When it comes back, the flap will not open from the outside. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew that installs these doors on homes around Flagstone.
The trick is putting the door on the right gap. The crew checks the roof void and outside walls to find the opening in use right now, looking at fresh droppings, rub marks and worn paths through insulation. They close any nearby gaps first, so the one-way door becomes the only exit from that part of the roof.
- Gap in use found from inside and outside
- Door held in place with screws or brackets to suit the roof
- Nearby gaps closed so the door is the only exit
- Tips on what to listen for over the next few nights
- Door removed and gap sealed on the return visit
Doors can go on eaves, gable vents, fascia gaps, roof joins and wall vents. Most roofs go quiet within a few nights. When you have had several quiet nights in a row, give us a call and the crew returns to take the door off and seal the gap properly. If a second possum is using a different gap, a second door may be needed, and the crew will price that first.
