A strong, sickly smell that appears suddenly and gets worse over a few days is often a dead animal in the roof or a wall cavity. In the warm months around Redland, that smell can become hard to live with very quickly. Dead animal removal finds the source, takes it away and treats the area so the house can air out.
The crew we book starts by working out where the smell is strongest, both inside the house and up in the roof space. They check along joists, around the eaves and at the upper ends of wall cavities, where animals often get stuck. If the animal is inside a wall, they may need to make a small access hole, and they will explain this and price it before doing anything.
- Tracing the smell to its source in the roof or wall
- Taking the animal out and bagging it for removal
- Clearing any soiled insulation around the spot
- Treating the area with an odour neutraliser
- Checking for the gap the animal used to get in
Flies around a light fitting or a stain spreading on the ceiling are other signs to look out for. Once the animal is out, the crew will also look for how it got into the roof in the first place, since that gap may let the next one in. They can price sealing it on the same visit.
You get an upfront price for the visit when you call, with any extra work priced before it starts. For dead animal removal at your home in Redland, call 07 3543 7769 and tell us where the smell seems to be coming from.
