Not sure whether the noise in your ceiling is a possum, a rat or something else? A possum inspection gives you a clear answer. It is a good first step if the noise comes and goes and you have not seen the animal. We book a nearby independent crew in Caloundra to look over your roof, eaves and roof space, and tell you what is living up there and how it is getting in. You get upfront pricing when you call, before the visit is booked.
The crew we book walks around the outside of the house first, checking the roof line, gutters, fascia and any trees or wires that reach the roof. Then they go up through the manhole with a torch and look for droppings, nests, flattened insulation, urine stains and fur caught on timber. These signs show which animal it is and where it spends most of its time. They also check the ceiling below for soft or stained patches.
After the inspection, you get a plain run-down of:
- What animal is in the roof and roughly how many
- Where the main entry points are
- Any damage to insulation, wiring or ceiling sheets
- What removal and proofing would involve
- Whether a cleanup is needed afterwards
Many people in Caloundra book an inspection when they first hear noises, or when a smell or stain appears and they want to find the cause. Inspections are also handy if you had possums before and want to check that the old gaps are still closed. If the crew finds a possum, they can often go ahead with removal on the same visit once you agree to the price. To book a possum inspection, call 07 3543 7771 and we will arrange a local crew.
