Once a possum has lived in a roof for a while, it leaves a mess behind. Droppings pile up near the nest and along the paths it uses, and urine soaks into insulation and ceiling boards. That mess can smell and stain the ceiling below. A droppings clean-up in Bridgeman Downs clears it out so the roof space is clean again. Rat and mouse droppings can be cleared at the same time.
The crew we book wears masks and gloves and works through the roof space by hand. They collect the droppings, bag any insulation that is badly soiled and wipe down the timbers around the nest. The bags come down through the manhole and are taken away. Nothing is sprayed around until the droppings are out, so the sanitiser can reach the timbers properly. A clean-up usually covers:
- Removing droppings from the nest area and walkways
- Bagging and taking away soiled insulation
- Sanitising timbers and ceiling boards where urine has soaked in
- A check for any remaining signs of animals
If a lot of insulation has to come out, the crew will tell you how much so you can decide what to do about replacing it. Many people add roof space deodorising on the same visit, as a sanitised roof can still hold some smell for a while. It makes sense to seal the entry points first, too, so the mess does not build up again.
Clean-ups are booked for homes across Bridgeman Downs and the nearby suburbs. Call 07 3543 7768 and tell us roughly how long the possum was there and where the stains or smell are. We will give you an upfront price and book a local crew.
