A possum that has lived in your roof for a few weeks leaves a lot behind. Droppings collect around the nest and along its paths, and urine soaks into insulation and ceiling boards, often in the same few spots. That is where the stains and the musky smell come from. A droppings and urine clean-up in Eatons Hill clears it all out. We give you an upfront price and book a local crew.
The crew we book works through the roof space in masks and gloves. They pick up droppings by hand or with a vacuum made for the job, bag insulation that is soaked or heavily soiled and wipe down timbers and ceiling boards. The waste comes down through the manhole in sealed bags. Then they apply a sanitiser to the areas where the possum was nesting and urinating. A clean-up usually covers:
- Clearing droppings from the nest and pathways
- Bagging and removing soiled insulation
- Sanitising timbers and plasterboard
- Clearing rat and mouse droppings at the same time
- Taking all waste away with them
If a large amount of insulation has to come out, the crew will tell you how much so you can plan to replace it. Many people add roof odour treatment on the same day, as some smell can linger in the timbers even after a clean-up. It is also worth sealing the entry point first, so the mess does not start building up again.
To book a clean-up in Eatons Hill, call 07 3543 7771. Tell us roughly how long the possum was living there and where the stains or smell are, and we will give you a price and a time.
