A one way door is the main tool used for possum removal in Petrie. It is fitted directly over the entry point a possum is using, and is built so the possum can push out and leave the roof or wall cavity on its own but cannot climb back in once it has gone. No other part of the house is disturbed to fit one, and no part of the process involves handling the possum directly.
Before a one way door goes on, the crew confirms which gap is actually being used, since fitting one over the wrong spot does nothing to clear the space. This usually means checking the roofline, wall and subfloor of the Petrie property together rather than guessing from the noise alone, since more than one gap is common on an older roof.
Once fitted, the door is left in place for a period so the possum has a chance to leave in its own time rather than being rushed. The space is then checked before the door is removed and the gap is sealed and proofed, so the same spot cannot be used again by another possum later in the year.
