A one way door is a simple device, and it is at the heart of most possum jobs in Narangba. It is a short mesh tunnel with a flap on the outer end, fitted over the gap a possum is using to get into the roof or wall. The flap swings outward when pushed from inside but will not swing inward from outside.
When you ring, we ask where you have seen the possum coming and going and give you upfront pricing before booking a local team. The crew we book first confirms which gap is active, looking for fresh rub marks, droppings and disturbed insulation. Any other gaps nearby are blocked, so the door becomes the only way in or out. The door is then fitted firmly over the active gap from a ladder at the roofline.
At night, the possum heads out through the flap to feed. When it tries to come back, the flap stays shut. The door stays in place for a few nights until the roof space is quiet, and then the crew takes it down and seals the gap with mesh or sheet metal. If more than one gap is active, a door can be fitted to each, and that is included when we give you the price. The crew can show you where each door sits so you can keep an eye on it from the yard.
