Once a possum has been moved on from a roof, it still needs somewhere else to go, and a possum box gives it a spot nearby instead of sending it looking for the next roof it can get into. This is often suggested alongside proofing work for homes in Jimboomba, especially where there are mature trees close to the house.
The crew we book will look at the trees on the property, or nearby if the block does not have a suitable one, and work out a spot for the box that is sheltered and out of direct sun for most of the day. A box placed too close to the house can end up being just as tempting as the roof was, so placement matters. This is a detail crews notice while they are already up on the roof for the proofing work.
Fitting the box usually happens on the same visit as the proofing work, once the roof has been sealed up and there is nowhere left for the possum to get back inside. This keeps the whole job in Jimboomba to one visit rather than a separate trip later on. You get the price for the box and the fitting before anything starts. The crew will also flag anything else worth keeping an eye on while they are up on the roof, even if it is not the original reason for the call.
- A look at trees on or near the property for a suitable spot
- A box fitted a good distance from the house and roofline
- Placement chosen for shelter from sun and wind where possible
- Usually paired with proofing work on the same visit
- A price given before the box is fitted
