Once a possum has moved out of a roof, shed or subfloor space in Aspley and the gap has been sealed, a possum box gives it somewhere else nearby to settle instead. It is a wooden box fitted to a tree or a sturdy post, built along the lines of a natural tree hollow, giving the possum a place to shelter that is not your roof.
The crew we book can fit a box in a suitable spot on your property, usually a tree with some cover away from the house, once the roofline or shed work is finished. Position matters, since a box fitted somewhere too exposed or too close to the ground is less likely to be used, so the crew looks at your yard before deciding where to put it.
This is an optional add-on for a Aspley property with a suitable tree or a sturdy fence line, rather than something every job needs, so the crew can talk you through whether it makes sense for your yard, the trees you have and how close they sit to the house and the roofline.
A possum box is not something every job needs, and plenty of Aspley properties do not have a suitable spot for one, particularly smaller blocks without a mature tree nearby. Where a tree or sturdy post is available, though, it can be a simple addition to the visit rather than a separate call-out later.
