A dead animal smell is one of the hardest things to deal with at home. It starts faint, then turns sweet, heavy and sickening over a day or two, and in warm weather it can fill a whole room. In Eatons Hill, the cause is usually a possum or rat that has died in the roof space, inside a wall cavity or under the floor. We give you an upfront price and book a nearby crew to find it and take it away.
The crew we book uses the smell, any flies and stains on the ceiling to narrow down the spot. They check the roof space first, then the eaves, wall cavities and subfloor where they can reach. If the animal is inside a wall, they may need to open a small section of plasterboard, and they will always talk that through with you first. The job usually covers:
- Finding the source of the smell
- Removing the animal and bagging it for disposal
- Taking out any soiled insulation around it
- Treating the spot with a deodoriser
- Pointing out how the animal got in
The smell usually drops noticeably once the animal is out, and the odour treatment helps clear what is left. If the animal got in through a gap in the roof, the crew can seal it on the same visit so it does not happen again.
Dead animal removal is booked across Eatons Hill and the nearby suburbs. In summer the smell builds quickly, so it is worth calling as soon as you notice it. Call 07 3543 7771, tell us which rooms smell and for how long, and we will give you a price and book a crew.
