A possum that has been in the roof for a few weeks leaves a real mess. Droppings build up around the nest and along the paths it uses, nest material piles up near the eaves, and urine soaks into the insulation and the backs of the ceiling sheets. Ringtails and brushtails both leave droppings, though brushtail droppings are larger. The smell can seep down through downlights and cornices. We take bookings for possum droppings cleanup in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book goes into the roof space in protective gear and bags up the droppings, nest material and the worst of the soiled insulation. They vacuum or scrape the heavy spots, then treat the timber and insulation that stays to cut down the smell. They pay extra attention to spots above bedrooms and living rooms. Everything is bagged in the roof and carried out, so the mess does not end up in your living areas.
A droppings cleanup can cover:
- Bagging droppings and nest material
- Removing badly soiled insulation
- Treating timber and ceiling backs to reduce the smell
- Checking the ceilings below for stains
- A look for any droppings in wall cavities near the nest
Cleanup makes the biggest difference in homes where a possum has been living for months, which happens a lot in holiday homes around Peregian Beach that sit empty between stays. It also helps if anyone at home is bothered by the smell or has allergies. It is usually booked straight after removal and proofing, so the roof is cleared and sealed in one go. To book possum droppings cleanup, call 07 3543 7770 and we will arrange a local crew for you.
