A bad smell that gets stronger over a few days is often the first sign that an animal has died in the roof, a wall or under the floor. It can be a possum, a rat or a mouse. The smell tends to be worst in warm weather and in closed rooms, and it can linger for weeks if the animal is left where it is.
When you call, we ask where the smell is strongest and how long you have noticed it. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew in Mount Gravatt. The crew uses the smell, stains on the ceiling and flies near vents or light fittings to narrow down the spot. They then go into the roof or subfloor to find the animal and take it out in a sealed bag.
After removal, the crew cleans the area and can treat it for odour. If the animal came in through a gap that is still open, they can point it out and give you a price to seal it, so the next animal has a harder time getting in. Where the animal cannot be reached from the roof, the crew talks to you about options before cutting any ceiling board.
