Scratching inside a wall is a different sound to thumping on a ceiling. It is usually lower down, often near a corner, and it can go on for hours. Pets often notice it before people do, sniffing or staring at one spot. In Logan, possums end up in walls when they slip down from the roof space through a gap at the head of the wall frame, then find it hard to climb back out.
The crew we book first works out where in the wall the possum is. They listen, check the roof space above that section of wall and look for the gap it dropped through. Getting the possum out from above is the first choice, as it means nothing in your home needs to be cut. If that is not possible, the crew will explain other options before touching the wall.
- Possum located inside the wall cavity
- Access from the roof space above where possible
- A small access point only with your go-ahead
- Possum moved out of the cavity
- Gap at the head of the wall closed off
Brick veneer homes, common across Logan, often have an open cavity between the brick and the frame that runs all the way up to the roof. Timber homes can have gaps between wall linings. Either way, once the possum is out, the gap it used is closed so the same route cannot be used again. The crew will show you where the gap was so you can see what was done.
Do not wait too long with a possum in a wall. If it cannot get out, the problem can quickly turn into a smell. For wall cavity possum removal in Logan, call 07 3543 7767 and we will give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew.
