Homes on timber stumps around Ipswich, especially older ones, sometimes have a possum using the subfloor rather than the roof cavity, drawn in by gaps in the skirting, loose timber decking, or an open space under a low set of stairs. The noise is usually lower down than a roof possum, and droppings may show up near the edge of the house rather than the manhole.
When you call 07 3543 7768 about a subfloor possum, the crew checks under the house as well as the roof cavity, since it is not unusual for a possum to move between the two if there is an easy path up the outside of the house. Working out exactly where it is getting in under the house takes a proper look at the skirting and any gaps around pipes or vents.
Once the possum is out, the gap it was using is closed off, along with any other obvious openings around the base of the Ipswich home. Pricing is given upfront once the crew has seen the subfloor and worked out what closing the gaps involves. Stored items, garden sheeting or loose lattice around the base of the house can make the space harder to check properly, so it helps to clear what you can from around the skirting before the visit if it is easy to do so.

Call 07 3543 7768 and mention the noise is coming from under the house.
