A dead animal in the roof or wall gives off a strong smell that gets worse each day, especially in the heat. It often shows up in one room first, with flies gathering at a window or around a ceiling light. In Caboolture, it is usually a possum or a rat that has died in the roof space, a wall cavity or under the floor.
The crew we book tracks the smell to its source. They check the roof space first, then look at wall cavities, subfloor areas and the gaps around the eaves. Once they find the animal, they bag it and take it away. They also clear any soiled insulation or nesting material around it and treat the spot to cut down the smell.

Sometimes the animal is in a spot that is hard to reach, such as inside a wall between two studs. In that case, the crew will explain the options before doing anything, and give you the price for any extra work. Where the smell is faint or spread out, they may use a camera or check a few spots before they find it.
It also helps to find out how the animal got in, so the same thing does not happen again. The crew can seal that gap on the same visit if you want. If you have a smell that appeared suddenly and keeps getting stronger, call 07 3543 7767. We will give you an upfront price and book a local crew for your home in Caboolture.
