Possum smells come in two kinds. A sharp, sour smell is usually urine that has built up in the insulation and ceiling boards over time. A sweet, rotten smell usually means an animal has died. Both tend to get stronger in hot, humid weather. We book possum odour removal in Middle Park with an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book starts by finding the source, because a smell cannot be cleared while its cause is still in the roof. They check the nest area, look for wet or stained insulation and search for a dead animal if the smell suggests one. Where the smell seems to come from a wall, they check the head of the wall frame too. Soiled insulation and droppings are bagged and removed, and any dead animal is taken away.
With the source gone, the crew applies an odour treatment to the timber, plaster and insulation in the area. It works to break down the smell rather than mask it. Most homes smell normal again within a few days, and airing the house helps. Stains on the ceiling can be painted with a stain-blocking paint once dry. If a possum is still getting in, the crew shows you the gaps so they can be sealed.
