Roof and gable vents are built to let air move through the roof cavity, which also makes them one of the easier gaps for a possum to use once the mesh or cover has come loose or rusted through. Roof vent proofing deals with this specific weak point across Tarragindi homes, without blocking the airflow the vents are there for.
The crew checks every vent opening on the roof, including gable vents, whirlybirds and any smaller vents fitted around the eaves. Where the mesh has gaps, has rusted through, or was never fitted tightly against the frame, it gets replaced or backed with a finer mesh sized to keep animals out while still letting air pass through properly.
This work is often done alongside eave gap sealing and entry point sealing, since vents, eaves and tile lines tend to sit close together on the same stretch of roof. Checking them together in one visit means a Tarragindi roofline gets covered properly rather than the crew returning for each gap on its own. Homes with ridge or whirlybird vents fitted decades back tend to need this check most, since the mesh backing on older fittings wears through faster than the housing around it. Checking every vent on the roof rather than just the noisiest one usually turns up at least one more weak spot worth closing off while the crew is already on site.
