The smell of possum urine is sharp and hard to miss. It can hang around long after the possum has gone, especially in warm, humid weather when the ceiling space heats up. People in Clayfield often tell us the smell is worst in one room, usually right under the spot where the possum slept.
Odour removal is done after the possum is out, the roof is sealed and the droppings have been cleaned up. The crew we book treats the affected timber, ceiling boards and any insulation left in place with an odour neutraliser made for animal urine. This breaks down the source of the smell rather than masking it with a scent. Heavy stains may need more than one application.
If the smell is coming from inside a wall cavity, the crew will look at where it is strongest and treat the cavity from the roof space where they can reach. For stains that have come through the ceiling paint, they will suggest a stain-blocking primer before you paint over them. Airing the house on dry days also helps once the treatment is done.

Odour removal is usually booked together with a roof cavity cleanup, since the two work well as a pair. Call 07 3543 7766 to book possum odour removal in Clayfield. We will ask how long the possum was in the roof and give you upfront pricing.
