FAQs
Possums look for sheltered, secure places to rest during the day, and roof cavities can provide exactly that. Access may be through loose tiles, gaps around eaves, damaged roofing or openings where different parts of the roof meet. Nearby trees and fences can also make it easier for possums to reach the roof. Effective possum removal therefore needs to address both the animal and the way it is getting inside.
Yes. A possum does not necessarily remain inside the roof every night. It may use several resting places within its territory and return to your roof intermittently. Heavy movement after dark, particularly around dusk or before sunrise, can be worth investigating even if you do not hear it every night.
Extra care is required when young possums are involved. The roof should not simply be sealed while animals may still be inside. The situation needs to be assessed so the possums can leave safely before access points are permanently secured. This is one reason professional inspection is important before undertaking roof proofing yourself.
Not always. Sealing the main opening too early could leave a possum trapped inside the roof. A common approach is to identify the active entrance and use a one-way exit system that lets the possum leave but prevents it from returning. Final sealing can then be completed once the roof space is clear.
They can make roof access easier. Possums are capable climbers and may reach a building from nearby branches, fences, pergolas or other structures. Cutting down trees is not necessarily required, but keeping suitable clearance from the roof can form part of a longer-term prevention strategy alongside sealing gaps in the building itself.
Yes. Entry points can vary depending on the roof construction and condition of the property. Loose tiles, roof intersections, eaves, vents and gaps around extensions can all provide potential access. A proper inspection allows the proofing work to be matched to the actual openings rather than simply sealing the most obvious gap.
The type and timing of the noise can provide clues, but sound alone is not always enough. Possums generally create heavier footsteps and thumping, while rodents may produce lighter scratching or scurrying sounds. Looking for droppings, access points and other physical signs helps establish what is present before deciding on the appropriate solution.
Continue listening for unusual roof activity and periodically check accessible areas around the roofline for new damage or openings. Storms, building movement, roof repairs and deterioration can sometimes create new access points over time. Keeping branches away from the roof and dealing with damaged roofing promptly can also reduce the likelihood of another possum finding its way inside.
