Possums use the same corner of the roof again and again, so droppings and urine build up quickly. After a few months there can be a thick layer in the insulation above a bedroom or the lounge. In the warm, humid weather around Caboolture, that mess can lead to stains on the ceiling and a smell that drifts into the house.
The crew we book clears the droppings by hand and with a vacuum made for roof spaces. They bag the mess and take it away, then treat the area to cut down the smell. If the insulation is soaked or packed down, they will show you and give you a price to replace it. The crew wears masks and gloves, and they keep the mess off your floors and furniture on the way out.
- Droppings and nesting material cleared from the roof space
- Soiled insulation bagged and taken away
- Area treated to reduce smell
- Ceiling checked for stains and soft spots
- Manhole area cleaned before the crew leaves
A clean-up is usually done once the possum is out and the gaps are sealed. There is little point cleaning a roof that a possum can still get into. Many people in Caboolture book the clean-up on the same visit as removal, which saves a second trip up into the roof.
If you have noticed a stain spreading across the ceiling, a smell that gets worse on hot days or droppings on the back deck, it is worth having the roof checked. Call 07 3543 7767 and we will give you an upfront price for the clean-up.
