Vents and eaves are easy for a possum to get through. Old gable vents lose their mesh, whirlybird bases work loose, and eave lining sags or cracks away from the fascia over time. In Morayfield, where many homes are a few decades old, these are some of the most common gaps the crews we book find. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew.
The crew we book checks every vent and the full length of the eaves. That includes gable vents, whirlybird and roof vent bases, soffit vents, gaps where eave lining meets the brickwork, and any holes left from old antennas or pipes. Rusted or torn mesh is noted along with any loose sheeting. Two-storey homes often have vents on the upper gable that are hard to see from the ground.
Openings are then covered with galvanised or stainless steel mesh cut to fit, so air still moves through the roof while possums, rats and mice stay out. Loose eave sheets are screwed back into place and cracked edges are sealed. If a possum is still using one of these gaps, a one-way door goes on first.
- Gable and soffit vents fitted with mesh
- Whirlybird and roof vent bases sealed
- Loose eave lining screwed back in place
- Gaps between eaves and brickwork closed
- Airflow kept open through the roof
Screening is a sensible step on any older Morayfield home, and it pairs well with roof gap sealing and roof proofing. The crew can show you photos of each vent before and after if you ask. To book vent and eave screening, call 07 3543 7770 and tell us roughly how many vents your roof has.
