A possum that has lived in a roof for a few months leaves a lot behind. Droppings pile up near the nest, urine soaks the insulation, and leaves and twigs are dragged in as bedding. In the warm, damp weather around Deception Bay, that mess can smell strongly and stain the ceiling below.
The crew we book clears the roof space once the possum is out and the gaps are sealed. They wear masks and gloves, lay down drop sheets under the manhole and remove the mess by hand and with a roof vacuum. Everything is bagged and taken away. They then treat the area to reduce germs and smell, and check the ceiling for soft spots or stains.

If the insulation under the nest is badly soaked, the crew will show you and give you a price to remove it. Cleaning over soaked batts rarely clears the smell. They can also deodorise the roof space on the same trip if the smell is spreading through the house. Once the roof space is clean, any fresh droppings are easy to spot, which tells you straight away if something has found a new way in.
Roof space cleaning is often booked with removal in Deception Bay, so the crew only needs to go up once. If you have a stain on the ceiling, a smell that gets worse on hot days or droppings coming through the downlights, call 07 3543 7768 for an upfront price. Tell us roughly where the nest was.
