A dead possum in the roof is one of the worst smells a home can have. It often shows up a few days after the thumping goes quiet, and in the heat it can spread through several rooms. Stains may appear on the ceiling and flies may gather at vents and light fittings. We take bookings for dead possum removal in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew to find the possum, take it away and clean up. You get upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book heads into the roof space and works toward the strongest smell. A possum that dies in the roof is often near its nest, close to its entry gap, or wedged somewhere tight, such as between a wall plate and the roof. They wear gloves and masks and bag everything before carrying it out. Once found, the crew removes the possum and takes out the soiled nesting material and insulation around it. If it is inside a wall, they will talk through any access point with you before cutting.
The visit usually covers:
- Finding the dead possum in the roof, wall or subfloor
- Removing the possum and its nest
- Cleaning droppings and urine from the area
- Deodorising to cut the smell
- Showing you the gap it used to get in
An empty nest in Peregian Beach does not stay empty for long, because the scent of the old den can draw another possum to the same spot. Sealing the gap once the dead possum is out is the step that ends the cycle. The crew can do it on the same visit if you agree to the price. Call soon after you notice the smell. To book dead possum removal, call 07 3543 7770 and we will line up a local crew.
