A possum that has lived in a roof for a while leaves a lot behind. Droppings pile up along the paths it uses, nesting material collects in corners, and insulation gets squashed and soaked. In Southern Brisbane, many roof spaces we hear about have had possums on and off for years, and the build-up can be heavy by the time anyone looks. Heat in the roof in summer makes the smell worse.
Droppings clean-up clears this mess out of the roof. The crew we book works through the roof space, removing droppings, old nests and insulation that is too soiled to keep. Everything is bagged and taken away. Where the timber or ceiling boards are stained, the spot can be treated to cut down smell. Any chewed cables spotted along the way are pointed out.
- Removal of droppings along runways and nesting areas
- Clearing of old nesting material
- Bagging and removal of soiled insulation
- Deodorising of stained spots
- A note on areas where insulation may need adding to
The crew wears masks and gloves for this work and keeps the mess inside the roof space rather than tracking it through your home. Where insulation has been removed, they will show you the gaps so you can arrange new batts if needed. Clean-up is best done after the possum has been moved out and the entry has been sealed, so the roof stays clean.
If you are not sure how much mess is up there, ask for a roof cavity inspection first and the crew can give you an idea of the job. We give upfront pricing before the visit. For droppings clean-up in Southern Brisbane, call 07 3543 7766 and we will book a nearby independent crew.
