The smell of a dead animal is hard to miss. It is sweet, heavy and gets worse over a few days, often with flies gathering near a vent or window. In homes around Bridgeman Downs the cause is usually a possum or rat that has died in the roof space, inside a wall cavity or under the floor. We give you an upfront price and book a nearby crew to find it and take it away.
Finding the animal is the tricky part. The crew we book tracks the smell to the strongest spot, then checks the roof space, the eaves and any access points to walls and subfloors. Sometimes the animal is easy to reach from the manhole. Other times it is deep in a wall, and the crew may need to cut a small access hole in a plaster wall to get to it, which they will talk through with you first. The job usually includes:
- Tracking down the source of the smell
- Removing the animal and bagging it for disposal
- Clearing any soiled insulation around it
- Deodorising the area where it was found
Once the animal is gone, the smell usually drops quickly. The crew can also look for the gap the animal used to get in, so you can have it sealed and stop the same thing happening again.
