A possum that dies in the roof or inside a wall cavity leaves a smell that is hard to live with. It often starts a few days after the noise ends, and in warm weather it can fill a room. You may also see flies around light fittings or vents, or a new stain on the ceiling. We take bookings for dead possum removal in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew to find the possum and take it out, with upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book goes into the roof space and works toward the strongest smell. Possums often die near their nest, close to where they came in, or in a spot where they got stuck, such as a gap between a wall and the roof framing. If it is in a wall, they may need a small access hole, and they will check with you before cutting anything. Once they find it, they bag it, take it away, and remove the soiled nesting material and insulation around it.
The visit usually includes:
- Locating the dead possum in the roof, wall or subfloor
- Removing the possum and the nest material
- Cleaning droppings and urine from the spot
- Deodorising to cut the smell
- Pointing out the entry gap so another possum does not move in
A possum that got in once is a sign the roof has an open gap, so it is worth sealing it once the dead animal is out. In Caloundra, a new possum can take over an empty nest within weeks. The crew can seal it on the same visit if you agree to the price first. To book dead possum removal, call 07 3543 7771 and we will arrange a local crew for you.
