Dead animal smell in your roof?
A mouse: 5–10 days.
A rat: up to 3 weeks — longer sealed in a brick wall.
A possum: up to 6 weeks. And in an Adelaide summer, it only gets worse.
No air freshener, open window or spray will touch it. The only thing that stops the smell is finding the source and removing it — and that's what I do.
When you call, you get me — Werner — not a call centre. My dead animal removal averages $150–$250 for a 30-minute search for the carcass. If I find it, I remove it. If I can't find it, the visit includes an odour-bag setup. And if the carcass is unreachable, the odour bag is the best solution there is.
From what I find, I can offer you rodent treatment, possum proofing or bird proofing to stop it happening again — and I'm ready to do it on the spot.
