Sometimes the scratching is not above you but inside the wall. Possums can drop down from the roof into wall cavities, or get into the space between floors in a two-storey home. The sound is often a scrabbling or knocking low in the wall, and it can be hard to pin down. Pets often notice it first. We take bookings for wall cavity possum removal in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew to find the animal and get it out.
You get upfront pricing on the phone before anything is booked. The crew we book listens at the walls, checks the roof space above the cavity, and looks for gaps around the outside of the house, such as weep holes, vents, pipe entries and gaps at the base of cladding. Brick veneer homes, which are common in Caloundra, have a cavity between the brick and the frame that a possum can use as a path from the roof to the floor.
Wall cavity jobs can include:
- Tracing the noise to the right section of wall
- Finding where the possum dropped in from the roof or came in from outside
- Opening a small access point if there is no other way to reach it
- Getting the possum out and closing the gap it used
- Closing up the access point once the job is done
A possum stuck in a wall can get stressed and noisy, and if it cannot find a way out it may die there, which leads to a strong smell. That is why it pays to call early. If the smell has already started, tell us when you call so the crew can bring what they need for a cleanup. To book wall cavity possum removal, ring 07 3543 7771 and we will line up a local team.
