Possum urine has a strong, sharp smell that can come through the ceiling, especially after rain or on humid nights. In older homes around Windsor, it can also drift down wall cavities and out through vents and light fittings. Once a possum has used one spot for a while, the smell can hang around long after the animal has gone. Tell the crew about any rooms where the smell gets worse after rain, as that often points to the soaked spot.
The crew we book first finds where the smell is coming from. That might be the nest, a toilet spot the possum used again and again, or a patch of insulation soaked through. They remove the source where they can and then treat the area with an odour-neutralising product. The work can include:
- Finding the main urine spots in the roof space
- Removing soaked nest material and droppings
- Treating timber and insulation with an odour neutraliser
- Checking wall cavities and vents above the rooms that smell
- Tips on airing the roof space in the days after
If the smell is coming from a dead animal rather than urine, the approach is different, and the crew will tell you. Odour work is done after the possum is out and the gaps are closed, so a new smell does not start again straight away. A strong smell usually eases over the next few days as the treated area dries.
