Sometimes the noise is not coming from the ceiling at all. A possum can slip down from the roof space into a wall cavity and nest there, or get stuck and scratch to get out. In Southern Brisbane this happens most often in older timber homes with open wall frames, and in brick homes where a gap at the head of the wall runs down to the floor.
Wall jobs take more work than a roof job, because the crew has to find exactly where in the wall the possum is. They listen for movement, check the roof space above the wall and look for the gap the possum used to get in. Once they have found the spot, they work out the least messy way to reach it.
- Listening and checking to find where in the wall the possum is
- Access from the roof space above where possible
- A small, neat access point in the wall only if needed
- Possum moved out of the wall cavity
- The gap at the head of the wall closed so the same route is blocked
Where possible, the possum is reached from above through the roof space, so no wall needs to be opened. If a small access point is needed, the crew will explain why and where before cutting anything, and you can say no. After the possum is out, the gap it used at the head of the wall is closed off.
A possum in a wall can also mean a smell later if it has been stuck for a while, so it pays to act early. For wall cavity possum removal in Southern Brisbane, call 07 3543 7766. We will give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew for the next open time.
