Possum urine has a strong, musky smell that soaks into timber, insulation and ceiling plaster. Even after the possum has gone, the smell can hang around for weeks, especially in hot and humid weather. Roof odour treatment in Caboolture deals with that smell at the source.
The crew we book starts by finding where the smell is coming from. Usually it is the nest site or the corner the possum used as a toilet. They clear any droppings and soiled material first, because treating the smell while the mess is still there does little. Then they apply an odour treatment to the timber and surrounding area and check that the manhole cover sits properly, so less air moves from the roof into the house.

The smell usually fades over the next few days. If it is coming from a dead animal rather than urine, the crew will look for the carcass and remove it, since no treatment will fix that smell while the animal is still there. In that case, they will tell you before doing anything extra.
Odour treatment is often booked with a clean-up after removal, but it can be booked on its own if the possum has already gone. Tell us which room smells worst and when you first noticed it. Call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a crew for your home in Caboolture with the price given upfront.
