Even after droppings and nesting material have been cleared, the timber and ceiling boards in a roof can still carry the smell and grime left by a possum. Roof space sanitising is the next step after a clean-up. It treats the surfaces where the possum lived so the roof above your home in Redland is fresher and easier to live under. It also helps if you plan to store boxes up there or need tradespeople working in the roof later.
The crew we book applies a sanitiser by fogging or spraying across the areas where the possum nested and walked. They pay close attention to joists, the backs of ceiling boards and the edges of the roof, where urine tends to pool. The product is chosen for roof spaces, and the crew will tell you how long to keep the manhole closed afterwards.

Sanitising works well straight after a clean-up, so it is usually priced together with droppings removal. If the possum was only there for a short time, the crew might suggest a lighter treatment of the main nesting spot rather than the whole roof. Either way, you get the price before anything starts.
People often book sanitising when there are young children, older family at home or anyone with allergies or breathing problems, since the smell from a possum roof can be strong. To book roof space sanitising in Redland after a possum problem, call 07 3543 7769 and we will arrange a visit.
