Vents let hot air out of the roof, which is handy in a Brisbane summer, but they can also let a possum in. Roof turbines can lose their base seal or get knocked loose in a storm. Gable vents on older homes often have thin, rusted mesh or none at all. Wall and eave vents can crack or pop out of their frames. Any of these can become a doorway into the roof space in Nundah.
The crew we book checks each vent on the house and looks at how it is sealed to the roof or wall. Where a vent is loose, it is sealed back down. Where the opening is exposed, a sturdy steel mesh guard is fitted over or behind it. The guard lets air flow through as before but closes the gap to anything trying to climb in. Guards are cut to fit each vent, so they sit neatly and do not rattle in the wind.
Vent guards are a common part of proofing after a possum has been cleared from the roof, but they are also worth fitting on their own if you have noticed scratching around a vent, droppings near a gable, or bent mesh on a vent cover. If a possum is already inside, the crew fits a one-way door first and waits until the cavity is clear before closing the vent.
