Once the roof is sealed, the next step is making it harder for possums to get up there in the first place. Sealing the roof stops them getting in, but it does not stop the noise of feet on the tiles at night. In Morayfield, big gum trees, mango trees and climbing plants often reach right over the roof, giving possums an easy path. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew to look at your yard and roof line together.
The crew we book walks the garden and looks at how possums are reaching the roof. Branches within a couple of metres of the gutter, vines on fences and walls, and trees close to carports and patios are the usual paths. The crew points out which branches to cut back and can fit sheet metal collars around tree trunks so possums cannot climb them.
Other simple steps include sensor lights near the favourite climbing spots and keeping fruit and pet food out of the yard at night. These steps sit alongside a sealed roof line, not in place of it. They make your roof far less inviting than the trees around it.

Acreage blocks and leafy streets around Morayfield often need a few of these steps together. The crew can do this on the same visit as sealing, which saves a second call-out. To book garden possum deterrents, call 07 3543 7770 and tell us about the trees near your roof.
