A dead possum or rat in the roof can make a home hard to live in. The smell starts faint, then builds over a few days, and in hot weather it can fill a room. Flies may appear around light fittings or windows. We take bookings for dead animal removal across South Brisbane and send an independent local crew to find it and take it away.
The crew starts by working out where the smell is strongest, both inside the rooms and up in the roof space. Smell can travel along beams, so the source is not always right above the worst room. They look for fly activity, damp patches on the ceiling and stained insulation. In cottages on stumps they may also check under the floor. In unit blocks, the source can be in a shared roof space or a service duct.
When the animal is found, it is bagged and taken off your property. Soiled insulation or nesting material around the spot can be removed too, and the area treated to cut the smell. If the animal is inside a wall, the crew explains the options before any cutting. They also look for the gap the animal used, so it can be sealed.
