Scratching or shuffling inside a wall is a different sound from thumping in the ceiling, and it can be harder to pin down. A possum in a wall cavity has usually come down from the roof space along the frame, or found a gap low down where a weatherboard has split or a vent has come loose. Homes in Nundah with timber cladding and older wall vents are the most likely to have this kind of gap.
The crew we book traces the sound back to its source. They check where the wall meets the roof cavity, look along the eaves above the wall, and walk around the outside of the house to check vents, cladding joins and gaps around pipes. When the gap in use is found, a one-way door is fitted over it so the possum can leave but not get back in.
Once the wall cavity is clear, the gap is sealed and the other weak spots along the same wall are closed off. Where the wall links up to the roof space, the crew also checks the ceiling side so the two areas are proofed together rather than one at a time. This helps stop the noise from moving from one part of the house to another.
