A rotten, sweet smell that grows stronger over a few days usually means an animal has died somewhere in the house. In Rocklea, it is most often a possum or a rat in the roof space, a wall cavity or under the floor. We take bookings for dead animal removal and book an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book tracks the smell to its source. They check the roof space, the tops of walls, under the house and any gaps around the kitchen and bathroom. Flies gathering at a light fitting or a vent can also point to the spot. Once found, the animal is bagged and taken away. If the animal is inside a wall, a small hole may need to be cut in the plaster to reach it, and the crew will talk this through with you first.
After removal, the area is cleaned. Soiled insulation can be bagged and removed, and the spot is treated to cut down the smell. The smell can take a few days to clear fully, even after the source is gone, so opening windows and running fans helps. If the animal got in through a gap, the crew can show you where it is so it can be sealed.
