A dead possum or rat in the roof or a wall cavity produces a smell that is hard to ignore. It often starts faintly and gets much stronger over a few days, and you may notice flies gathering near a vent or light fitting. In the warm weather around Windsor, the smell builds quickly, so it is worth acting early. Pets sometimes notice the smell first, sniffing at a wall or a cupboard, so that can be a useful clue to share with the crew.
The crew we book uses the smell, fly activity and any stains to narrow down where the animal is. They check the roof space first, then wall cavities, subfloors and under decks if needed. Once found, the animal is bagged and taken away, and the area is treated. The visit usually covers:
- Tracking the smell to its source
- Removing the dead animal and any soiled material
- Treating the spot with a sanitiser and odour neutraliser
- Checking for gaps the animal used to get in
Some animals end up in places that are hard to reach, such as deep inside a wall or under a low floor. In that case the crew explains the options before doing anything, including whether a small access hole is needed. You decide before any extra work is done. If the gap the animal used is still open, the crew can price sealing it on the same visit.
