Once a possum has been removed from a roof and the gap it was using is closed off, it still needs somewhere nearby to go. A possum box gives it a dry spot close to where it has been living, usually fixed to a tree or a post away from the house, so it is not left looking for a new way into the roof of a Ipswich home.
When you call 07 3543 7768 to book a box alongside removal, the crew talks through where on the block it can go, since it works well somewhere shaded, away from the house itself, and roughly in the area where the possum was already spending time. A box fitted too close to the house can end up being just as tempting as the roof was, so a spot further along the fence line or in a nearby tree is usually a better option.
This is usually booked at the same time as removal and proofing, so the possum has somewhere to go as soon as the roof gap is closed. It can also be booked on its own if a possum is already regularly around the yard at your Ipswich property and you want to give it a spot away from the roofline before it finds another way in. The box is checked against the house design first, since a steep roof or a tall gable can change where it makes the most sense to fix it.
