A dead animal in the roof, wall cavity or under the floor causes one of the most unpleasant smells a house can have. In Robertson, these calls often come after a possum has been sealed in by accident, has died in the roof, or has got stuck in a wall cavity. The smell is strong and sweet, and it often comes with flies gathering at a vent, window or light fitting. It tends to get worse over the first week, especially in hot weather.
The crew we book starts by tracking the smell. They check the roof space, the eaves, wall cavities and the subfloor, and they look for flies and staining that point to the spot. In some homes they can reach the animal from the roof. In others they need to cut a small access hole in the plasterboard, which they discuss with you before they start.
Once found, the animal is bagged and taken away from the property. The crew cleans the area, removes any soiled insulation around it and applies an odour treatment. The smell usually fades over the next few days as the air clears. The crew also checks how the animal got in, so the gap can be sealed if needed.
