A possum that has lived in a roof for a few weeks or months leaves a lot behind. Droppings pile up near the nest and along the paths it uses, urine soaks into insulation and ceiling boards, and leaves and bark are dragged in for bedding. The result is often a strong smell through the house and brown stains on the ceiling below. We book local teams to clear it out for homes in Sunnybank Hills.
The crew we book goes into the roof space wearing protective gear and works through it section by section. Droppings and nesting material are bagged and taken away, soiled areas are cleaned, and a deodoriser can be used to help with lingering smells. They also check for damp or sagging ceiling boards where urine has built up.
- Droppings and nesting material bagged and removed
- Soiled patches on ceiling boards cleaned
- Deodoriser applied to help with smells
- Ceilings checked for stains and sagging
- Insulation looked over for damage
A clean-up makes the most sense once the roof has been sealed and proofed, so the space stays clean. If the insulation is badly soiled or flattened, the crew can quote for roof insulation replacement at the same time. Homes with low roofs or tight corners near the eaves can take a little longer, so tell us about the roof when you ring. For any health questions about droppings or smells in the home, speak to your doctor.
You get upfront pricing on the phone, based on the size of the roof space and how much has built up. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book a possum droppings clean-up in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765.
