The smell of a dead animal in the house is hard to ignore. It usually starts faint and gets stronger over three or four days, then slowly fades over a few weeks. In the Brisbane heat it can be much worse. The source is often a possum, rat or mouse that has died in the roof space, inside a wall or under the floor.
When you call, we ask which room smells worst, when you first noticed it and whether you have seen flies gathering near a light fitting, vent or window. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew in Sunnybank. The crew uses the smell, any stains on the ceiling and those fly clues to narrow down the spot. They then go into the roof or subfloor, find the animal and bag it for removal.
Once the animal is out, the crew cleans the area, removes any soiled insulation around it and can treat the spot to neutralise the odour. They also look for the gap the animal came in through and let you have a price to close it. If the animal is inside a wall and cannot be reached any other way, they talk to you before cutting a small access hole.

Dead animal removal is not a job most people want to do in a hot roof space. If there is a bad smell in your home in Sunnybank, call 07 3543 7765 and we will book a crew to find it.
