Roof vents let air move through the cavity, but an open vent without a guard is also an easy entry point for a possum. In Aspley, older homes with original whirlybirds or gable vents are more likely to have this gap than homes where the vents have already been fitted with a guard, especially on roofs that have not been checked in a number of years.
The crew we book checks each vent on the roof, not just the ones near where the noise has been heard, and fits a guard over any that are open. Guards are fitted so air can still move through the cavity as it should, while closing off the gap a possum could use to get inside the roof space.
This is often a quick addition to a wider possum removal or proofing visit for a Aspley home, since the crew is already checking the roofline for other gaps at the same time. Adding vent guards while the crew is already up there is usually quicker than booking a separate visit later.
Vents come in a few different styles, from static roof vents to turbine whirlybirds, and the right guard depends on the type fitted to your roof, so the crew can talk you through the options that suit your home.
- Every vent on the roof checked, not just the one nearby
- Guards fitted without blocking airflow through the cavity
- Suits whirlybirds, gable vents and eave vents
- Usually added to a wider roofline visit
- An upfront price agreed before work begins
