Once a possum has been living in your roof for a while, it leaves a lot behind. Droppings pile up near the nest, urine soaks into the insulation and ceiling sheets, and the smell can drift down through light fittings and cornices. Rats and mice leave their own trail too, mostly along beams and near where they feed. Droppings and urine cleanup deals with that mess once the animal is gone. We take bookings in Caloundra and book a nearby independent crew, with upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book wears protective gear and goes into the roof space to bag up droppings, nesting material and soiled insulation. They vacuum or scrape the worst areas, then treat the timber and the remaining insulation to cut the smell. Nothing is swept down into the living areas. If a large section of insulation is badly soaked, they will talk to you about taking it out rather than leaving it to smell.
A cleanup visit can cover:
- Removing droppings and nesting material from the roof space
- Taking out urine-soaked insulation
- Treating timber and the back of the ceiling sheets to reduce the smell
- Checking the ceiling below for stains
- Rat and mouse droppings as well as possum mess
Cleanup matters most in homes where the possum has been in the roof for months, which is common in older homes around Caloundra. It also helps if anyone in the house is bothered by the smell or has allergies. It is usually booked straight after removal and proofing, so the roof is clean and sealed at the same time.
