Scratching inside a wall usually means a possum has found its way down from the roof or in through a gap in the outside wall. In Narangba, this happens most in two-storey homes, where an upper wall runs up past a lower roof, and in homes where pipes, cables or air conditioning lines pass through the wall close to the roofline.
When you call, we ask which room the scratching is in, whether it moves along the wall and what time of night you hear it. We then give upfront pricing and book a local team. The crew we book checks the outside walls, the lower roof sections and the roof space to work out where the possum is getting into the wall cavity. The gap is usually higher up than the noise suggests, since sound travels down the cavity.
Once the gap is found, a one way door is fitted over it, so the possum can leave the cavity but cannot get back inside. When the wall is quiet, the door comes off and the gap is sealed with mesh or sheet metal. Other openings into the same cavity, such as gaps around pipes or wall vents, are closed at the same time. The crew will tell you which room each gap leads towards, so you can match it to the noise you were hearing.
