A sweet, rotten smell that seems to come from one room, flies gathering near a light fitting or a stain spreading on the ceiling usually means something has died in the roof, a wall or under the floor. The smell can linger for weeks if the animal is left where it is. We take bookings for dead animal removal in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew to find it and take it away. You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit.
The crew we book traces the smell through the roof space, wall cavities or subfloor until they find the source. Most of the time it is a possum or a rat, but it can be any small animal that got in and could not get out. They bag the animal, take it away, and clean the area underneath. If the insulation or timber is badly soaked, they remove the worst of it and treat the spot to cut the smell.
A dead animal removal visit covers:
- Tracing the smell to the source
- Removing the animal and any soiled nesting material
- Cleaning and deodorising the area
- Checking how the animal got in
- Advice on sealing that gap so it does not happen again
In the heat and humidity around Caloundra, the smell can build quickly, so it pays to call soon after you notice it. If the animal is inside a wall, the crew may need to open a small access point to reach it, and they will talk that through with you first. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book dead animal removal, call 07 3543 7771 and we will line up a local team.
