A possum that has lived in a roof for a few weeks leaves a lot behind. Droppings build up along its runs and around the nest, and leaves, twigs and shredded insulation are dragged into corners. In homes around Redland, this mess often sits right above bedrooms and living areas, and it is the main source of the smell that drifts down into the house.
The crew we book clears the droppings and nesting material by hand and with a vacuum made for roof work. They work along the ceiling joists, around downlights and into the tight spots near the eaves where possums like to nest. Everything is bagged and taken away, so nothing is left in the roof or in your bin.
- Droppings cleared from runs, nests and roof edges
- Leaves, twigs and loose nesting material removed
- Bags taken away from the property
- Photos of the cleared area where possible
- A price for sanitising or insulation removal if needed
This clean-up works well once the possum is out and the entry point is sealed, so the roof does not fill up again. Many people book it on the same visit as removal and proofing. If the insulation under the droppings is badly soaked or stained, the crew may suggest removing that section as well, and they will price it before they start.
Once the roof is clear, most people notice the smell fading within a few days. If you want droppings cleaned out of your roof in Redland, call 07 3543 7769 and tell us how long the possum has been there.
