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 Northside, especially where there are mature trees close to the house.
The crew we book looks at the trees on the property, or nearby if the block does not have a suitable one, and works 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.
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 Northside to one visit. You get the price for the box and fitting before anything starts. Ask about pairing this with other work while the crew is already on site, since sorting more than one thing on the same visit can save a second trip out. You are welcome to ask as many questions as you like about what the visit will cover before deciding whether to go ahead.
