The smell of possum urine is hard to miss. It is musky and sharp, and it often gets stronger on hot afternoons and after rain. Even once the possum has gone, the smell can linger in the timber and plaster for weeks. Roof deodorising in Deception Bay targets the smell where it starts.
The crew we book finds the source first. It is usually the nest or a corner the possum used as a toilet, often right above a bedroom or hallway. Any droppings and soiled debris are removed before treatment, because deodorising over the mess does very little. The crew then applies an odour treatment to the timber, plaster and surrounding area and checks that the manhole cover sits properly, so less roof air drifts into the house.

Most homes notice the smell fading over the next few days. If the smell comes from a dead animal rather than urine, the crew will search for it and take it away, since no treatment can clear that smell while the animal is still there. They will ask you before doing any extra work. Opening windows in the room below for a day or two also helps clear the air.
Deodorising can be booked on its own or with removal and cleaning. Tell us which room smells worst and how long it has been going on. Call 07 3543 7768 and we will book a crew for your home in Deception Bay with the price given upfront.
