A sickly, rotten smell that gets stronger each day usually means an animal has died inside the house. In Western Brisbane it is most often a rat or possum in the roof space, though it can also be in a wall cavity or under the floor. In warm weather the smell builds quickly and flies can start to appear inside.
When you ring, we ask where the smell is strongest, how long it has been there and whether you have seen flies or stains on the ceiling. We give you the price and book a nearby crew. The crew uses the smell, fly activity and any stains to narrow down the spot, then gets into the roof space or subfloor to reach the animal.
- Search of the roof space, walls and subfloor
- Animal removed and bagged
- Fluids, droppings and nesting cleaned up
- Spot sanitised and treated for odour
- Advice on how the animal got in
Sometimes the animal is in a spot that cannot be reached from the roof space or subfloor, such as deep inside a wall. The crew will explain the options before doing anything, including whether a small access hole is needed. A plasterer can patch it afterwards if so.
Opening windows and running fans can help the rest of the house while you wait for the crew to arrive. Once the animal is out, it is worth sealing the gap it used, or the same thing may happen again. The crew can price that on the spot. To book dead animal removal in Western Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will line up a local crew as soon as the run allows.
