Even after the possum is gone, the smell can hang around. Possum urine has a sharp, musky smell, and a dead animal leaves a sweet, rotten one, and both soak into timber and insulation. The smell tends to be worst straight above the nest. In humid weather it can creep into bedrooms, wardrobes and linen cupboards. Roof deodorising treats the roof space once the source has been removed. We take bookings for it in Peregian Beach and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing on the phone.
The crew we book first checks that the animal, the droppings and the worst of the soiled insulation are gone, because deodorising over the source does not work. They then treat the affected timber, insulation and roof space with a deodorising product, and may fog the roof space so it reaches the corners and the backs of the ceiling sheets. Most homes need one visit. The crew will talk you through what they used and how long to keep the house aired.
Roof deodorising can include:
- Checking that the source of the smell is cleared
- Treating timber and insulation near the nest
- Fogging the roof space to reach tight corners
- A check of the ceilings below for stains that hold the smell
- Advice on airing out the house
Most smells ease over a few days after treatment, though strong cases can take longer in the summer heat in Peregian Beach. Opening windows and running fans helps. It is often booked with droppings cleanup or soiled insulation removal so the job is done in one go. If the smell is still strong after a week or so, call us and we can book another visit. To book roof deodorising, call 07 3543 7770 and we will arrange a local crew.
