The eaves are one of the most common ways a possum gets into a roof in Nundah. On many older homes the eaves were left open, with the rafter ends showing and a clear gap between the roof sheets or tiles and the wall. On newer homes the soffit lining can crack, sag or come away from the fascia over time, leaving a narrow gap that is just wide enough.
Possums often reach the eaves from a fence, a downpipe or an overhanging branch, then pull themselves up into the gap. The crew we book checks every side of the house, paying close attention to corners, the spots nearest trees, and places where a patio or carport roof joins the main roof. These joins are easy to miss and a favourite way in.
Gaps are closed with mesh, timber or sheet lining to match the eave, and loose soffit sheets are screwed back in place. On open eaves, the space between each rafter can be blocked with timber or mesh so the roof space is closed off while the eave still looks the way it did. If a possum is in the roof at the time of the visit, a one-way door is fitted over the eave gap first and sealing waits until the cavity is clear.
