A dead animal smell in a Karalee home is usually a rodents, rat, bird or the odd cane toad that has found its way into the roof void, a wall cavity or under the house and not made it back out. The smell tends to build over several days and is often strongest near where the animal is, even if you cannot see it, and can be worse on warmer days.
When you call, we ask where the smell is strongest, whether you have heard any noise beforehand and roughly how long it has been going on, then book a local crew to search the roof void, wall cavities and subfloor. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is treated, since a strong smell can linger for a few extra days even after removal from a Karalee property.
Roof voids and wall cavities can be hard to search without pulling back insulation or checking from multiple access points, which is why a local crew with the right gear and a torch makes the job quicker than doing it yourself.
- Roof void, wall cavity and subfloor searches
- Removal of the animal once located
- Treatment of the area afterwards to manage residual smell
- Checks for the entry point the animal used
- Notes on proofing gaps to stop it happening again
- Same-day or next-day where the run allows
If you have a smell you cannot place in Karalee, call 07 3543 7773. We will ask a few questions about where it is strongest and how long it has been noticeable, and book a local crew to track it down.
