Older homes on timber stumps around Silkstone sometimes have a possum using the subfloor rather than the roof cavity, drawn in by gaps in the skirting, loose decking, or an open space under a low set of stairs. The noise usually sits lower down than a roof possum, and droppings tend to show up near the edge of the house instead of around the manhole.
When you call 07 3543 7769 about a subfloor possum, the crew checks both under the house and the roof cavity, since it is not unusual for a possum to move between the two spaces, especially where there is an easy path up the outside of the house. Working out exactly where it is getting in under the house takes a proper look at the skirting and any gaps around pipes or vents.
Once the possum is out, the gap it was using is closed off, along with any other obvious openings around the base of the Silkstone home. Stored items, garden sheeting or loose lattice near the skirting can make the space harder to check properly, so clearing what you can from around the base of the house before the visit helps the crew get a proper look at every gap along the skirting rather than just the one that has already been noticed.
