One-Way Door Fitting in Gold Coast is the core of most possum jobs. Instead of chasing a possum around the roof, the crew we book lets it leave on its own. The door is a mesh tunnel or flap screwed over the main gap the possum uses. When it heads out at night to feed, it pushes through the flap, and the flap swings shut behind it.
Before fitting the door, the crew seals the smaller gaps around the roof, so the door becomes the only way out. They check the roof cavity for any young, so no possum is left behind inside. The door is then secured firmly over the main entry, set at an angle the possum can find and use easily in the dark.
- Main entry point found from inside and outside the roof
- Smaller gaps sealed so the door is the only exit
- Roof cavity checked for young before fitting
- Mesh door secured firmly over the main gap
- Second visit booked to take the door off and seal the spot
Most possums leave within one to three nights, and you will usually notice the roof go quiet. Some people sprinkle a little flour near the door to see tracks heading out. Once the roof has been silent for a few nights, the crew comes back, removes the door and closes the gap with mesh or flashing. If noise starts again, it usually means a second gap was missed, and you should call us so the crew can look.
It helps to keep outdoor lights off near the door for those nights, so the possum is happy to use it. One-way doors are fitted across Gold Coast with upfront pricing for both visits. Call 07 3543 7769, tell us what you are hearing and when, and we will book a nearby crew.
