Possum Removal With One Way Doors

Описание: Hi, I'm Sean from Cannon Pest Management. You might often hear pest controllers saying how they use one way doors to remove possums, so I'd thought I'd just quickly show you exactly what they are. We have two types, this one is use in tiled roofs. We take a tile from the roof and we place this door where the tile goes. This opening goes inside roof and this is sitting on top of the roof. So it's actually sealed from the weather so the roof doesn't leak. What happens is when the possum goes to leave the roof it pushes the flap and then the flap closes again. That means the possums can no longer return because they cannot re open the flap to enter the roof again.

The other type of possum door that we have is this one. This door can be installed on any type of roof. Can be installed on tin roofs, flat roofs, roofs where there's no access to get into and it works much the same way.

So, when we locate a possum exit point we install this door, so the possum has to leave the hole through this exit. It simply has a flap inside which means that the possum can only go out and it cannot come back in because there's flap here preventing them from re-entering.

The reason why we use doors rather than traps is we don't have to handle the animal at all. The issue with traps is most often possums injure themselves when they're in trap. Often they are left in the trap for at least one day before the pest control returns to release the possum. In that time, they bash their head against the cage, they often remove their skin off their nose and a it's lot of stress on the possum.

In fact the Victoria states that you have to release the possum within 24 hours of being trapped and the possum should also be released at dusk, so there's less stress on the animal while trying to find the safe place to retreat. That's the basic run down of how our possum doors work. and why we use them. Thank you.
