A sickly, rotten smell that gets worse each day is a sign that a possum or other animal has died somewhere in or under the house. It often happens in the roof space, inside a wall or beneath the floor. We take bookings for dead possum removal in Middle Park and book an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book traces the smell to where it is strongest. They check the roof space, the heads of the walls, under the house and around vents. Flies near a light fitting, an air vent or a cornice can also give the spot away. Once found, the animal is bagged and taken off site. Rats and mice can cause the same smell, and the crew deals with those too.
If the animal is inside a wall, reaching it may mean cutting a small hole in the plaster, and the crew talks this through with you first. After removal, soiled insulation can be bagged and taken away, the area is cleaned and an odour treatment is applied. The smell can linger for a few days, so opening windows and running fans helps it clear. The crew also looks for the gap the possum used, so it can be sealed and the problem does not repeat.
