A one-way door is one of the main tools the crew uses to get a possum out of a roof space across Wynnum. Once the main entry point has been found, a small door is fitted over that gap so the possum can push through to leave in the evening but cannot push back in through the same spot once it is out. This approach is used because it lets the possum choose when to leave, which tends to work better than trying to move it on directly.
Getting the door in the right place matters, so the crew starts by working out which gap is actually being used as the main route in and out. Worn edges, droppings or fur caught on the timber usually confirm which opening is the active one, rather than guessing based on the loudest part of the ceiling. The crew also checks nearby gaps at the same time, in case there is a second, smaller opening being used less often.
Once fitted, the door stays in place for a short period so the possum has a chance to leave on its own. If the roof space cannot be reached directly, the crew works from what can be seen and heard from outside to judge when the door has done its job. The crew then returns to confirm the roof space in Wynnum is clear before removing the door and sealing that gap along with any others found on the first visit.
