A one-way door is one of the simplest ways to clear a possum from a roof. It is a small hinged flap or tunnel fitted over the gap the possum is using. At night the possum pushes through to head out, but the door will not open from the outside, so it cannot get back in. In Logan, it suits many homes where there is one clear entry point.
The crew we book first finds the active entry, using rub marks, hair, droppings and worn paths along the roof line. Any other gaps are sealed so the door becomes the only way out. The door is then fitted firmly over the main entry, facing the right way, so the possum can leave on its own during the night.
- Active entry point found on the roof line
- Other gaps closed so the door is the only way out
- One-way door fitted over the main entry
- Roof checked to confirm it is clear
- Door taken off and the gap sealed
Once the roof is clear, the door comes off and the gap is sealed with mesh or sheeting that suits the roof. The crew will explain how and when that final step happens, and what it costs, before the door goes in. One-way doors do not suit every job, such as a possum stuck in a wall, and the crew will tell you if another approach is needed.
If you have a single possum using a single gap, a one-way door is often the neatest fix. Tell us whether you have seen the possum coming and going, as that helps the crew find the gap sooner.
