Even after the droppings are gone, a roof that housed a possum can still smell. Urine soaks into timber, dust and the backing of the plasterboard, and on a warm day in Robertson that smell can drift down into living areas and hallways. Roof space sanitising treats the area where the possum lived so the air in the house feels fresh again.
The crew we book starts by checking that the roof is clear and the droppings have been removed. Then they apply a sanitising treatment with a fine mist sprayer across the nest area, the paths the possum used and any stained timber. The mist settles into the surfaces the smell is coming from. Where the smell is strong, a second product is used to break down odour at the source.
Most homes need the roof left closed for a few hours after treatment. The crew tells you how long to wait and whether to keep windows open. If anyone in the house has asthma or allergies, mention it when you call so the crew can bring suitable products. The treatment is not a fix for an active possum problem, so it makes most sense once removal and proofing are done.
