When to call us
Signs it's time to pick up the phone.
Most problems are worth treating sooner than later. Here are the signals our technicians hear most.
A strong, unexplained smell
A persistent sweet or rotting odour that comes and goes is the most common sign of a deceased animal in the roof or wall.
Flies or maggots appearing indoors
Sudden fly activity around light fittings, vents or skirting boards often points to a carcass in the cavity behind them.
Stains on the ceiling
Discolouration or seepage on a ceiling can mean fluids from a dead animal have soaked through the plaster.
You've heard something die in the roof
If an animal got in and can't get out, it may die inside the cavity. The sooner it's located, the easier the cleanup.
Treatment process
How the treatment actually works.
Every job starts with finding the source, not just treating the symptom.
Locate the source
We trace the smell, stains and entry points to pin down exactly where the animal is, in the roof, wall or subfloor.
Remove it safely
Your technician wears protective gear, removes the carcass and any contaminated material, and disposes of it correctly.
Deodorise & seal
The area is treated to neutralise odours and sanitised, then entry points are sealed so nothing gets in again.
How it works
Simple from the first call.
Tell us what's going on, pick a time that suits, and let a local professional handle the rest.
Step 01
Book a call-out
Describe the smell or signs and we'll get a technician out promptly, same-day where possible.
Step 02
We find it & remove it
The source is located, removed safely and the area treated so the smell doesn't linger.
Step 03
Prevent it returning
Entry points get sealed and we advise on proofing so the next animal stays outside.
Guide
Dead Animal Removal Sydney: Roofs, Walls & Odour Control
What you need to know about dead animal removal in Sydney: spotting the signs, how we locate carcasses in roofs and walls, smell removal and proofing.
Why does my house smell like death?
A persistent sweet or rotting odour that comes and goes usually means an animal has died in a roof, wall cavity or subfloor. The smell peaks as the weather warms.
How do you find a dead animal in the roof?
From the smell, fly activity, stains and structural clues, we pinpoint the location before opening anything up. Most animals are found near where they entered.
How long does the smell last after removal?
Once the carcass and contaminated material are removed, the odour usually clears within days. We also treat the area to speed it along.
What animals end up in roofs and walls?
Rats, mice, possums, birds and sometimes cats. Knowing what it was helps us predict how long it's been there and what cleanup is needed.
Is dead animal removal covered by general pest control?
No. It's a separate service because it involves physical removal, PPE and correct disposal. We'll quote it clearly when you book.
How much does dead animal removal cost in Sydney?
Free quotes based on location and access. Roof and cavity jobs are usually more involved than subfloors, and we patch up any access we create.
