Possum urine has a sharp, musky smell that seeps through downlights, vents and cornices. In a warm, humid Brisbane summer it can get strong enough to notice as soon as you walk inside. Even once the possum has gone, the smell can hang around in the timbers and insulation for weeks. Roof odour treatment in Eatons Hill deals with it at the source. We give you an upfront price and book a nearby crew.
The crew we book finds the spots where the smell is strongest, usually the nest and the places the possum used as a toilet. Any droppings or soaked material there need to come out first, as treating over them does little. Then the crew applies an odour treatment to the timbers, plasterboard and surrounding insulation, and may fog the wider roof space so it reaches every corner. The visit usually includes:
- Tracking down the strongest odour spots
- Clearing small amounts of droppings nearby
- Treating the affected timbers and boards
- Fogging the roof space where needed
- Advice on keeping the smell from coming back
Most smells fade quickly after treatment, though a strong one may take a few days to clear fully. If the smell is sweet and rotten rather than musky, it is more likely a dead animal, and the crew can look for it as part of the visit. Airing the house for an afternoon helps the rooms freshen up sooner.
