Once a possum has been removed and the gap it was using is closed off, it still needs somewhere close by to den. A possum box gives it a dry option away from the house itself, usually fixed to a tree or a solid post, so it is not left hunting for a fresh way into the roof of a Silkstone home.

When you call 07 3543 7769 to book a box alongside removal, the crew talks through a good spot on the block, shaded, a reasonable distance from the house, and roughly in the area where the possum was already spending its time. A box fixed too close to the house can end up just as tempting as the roof space was, so a spot further along the fence line or in a nearby tree usually works out well.

This is often booked at the same time as removal and proofing, so a possum has somewhere to go as soon as the roof gap is closed. It can also be booked separately if a possum is already a regular around the yard at your Silkstone property and you would rather give it somewhere away from the roofline before it finds another gap on its own.

  • Box position chosen away from the house, in a shaded spot
  • Usually booked alongside removal and proofing
  • Box fixed securely to a tree or post
  • Can be booked on its own for a possum regularly seen in the yard
  • Price set out before the box goes up

Possum Box Installation FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Possum Box Installation

Questions we hear most often about Possum Box Installation in Silkstone.

Talk to a real person
What are the signs of a possum in the roof?
Listen for footsteps overhead once it gets dark, a scratching sound near the manhole, or a thump as the possum settles for the day. Droppings along a fence line or near the eaves, or a musty smell in one part of the ceiling, are other common signs. Regular noise at the same time each evening is usually worth a call to 07 3543 7769.
How does the crew actually get the possum out?
The roof cavity and subfloor are checked first to find where the possum is getting in and out, then it is removed from the roof space. The gap it was using is closed off straight after where the roof allows, so the visit deals with both the possum and the entry point in the one call-out.
Does proofing stop possums returning through the same gap?
Proofing closes the specific gap a possum has been using, around the eaves, a vent or the roofline, with material it cannot push through, so that entry point should not be used again. Other weak spots on an older roof can still let a possum in elsewhere, which is why a full roofline check is worth booking after a second visit.
How does a possum find its way onto the roof in the first place?
It usually climbs a tree, fence or downpipe close to the house, then finds a gap around the eaves, a lifted tile, or a manhole cover that no longer sits flush. Homes around Silkstone with overhanging branches or an older roof are more likely to have an easy gap for a possum to use, which is why proofing after removal makes a difference.
What happens to the roof gaps once the possum has gone?
The gap the possum was using is closed off once it is out, along with any other obvious openings found around the eaves, vents or roofline during the same visit. Material is chosen that a possum cannot push back through, so the same spot on your Silkstone roof is not used again.
