We get the carcass out of your roof, wall or chimney before the smell spreads through the house. Our technicians locate it, remove it in sealed biohazard bags, then disinfect and deodorise the cavity so the odour does not come back. Same-day visits across Melbourne, seven days.

We remove possums, rats, birds and other carcasses stuck in roofs, wall cavities, chimneys and subfloors across Melbourne. When something dies in a ceiling void, the smell travels fast through older weatherboard and brick-veneer homes. We find the animal, remove it, treat the area and seal the entry point so nothing else gets in.
Our technicians work to WorkSafe Victoria and public health regulations, and we follow environmental protection authority guidelines for carcass disposal. We work across Melbourne's inner east and bayside with same-day dead animal removal, including 24/7 emergency visits when the odour is unbearable. You get a fixed price before we start.
One dead possum in a ceiling can stink out an entire house within 48 hours, especially in a Melbourne summer. We handle the full job: locating the carcass, removing it safely, disinfecting the area and treating the odour at the source. Our technicians work across Melbourne seven days a week.
Dead Possum Removal
Possums die in roofs, wall cavities and under decks, and the smell is strong within a day or two. We locate the carcass, remove it in sealed biohazard bags, disinfect the area and check for entry gaps. We see it often in older Melbourne homes on leafy streets.

Dead Rat Removal
Rats crawl into wall cavities and die between the studs, which is why the smell seems to come from everywhere at once. We use an inspection camera to pinpoint the carcass, cut a clean access point if needed, remove it and treat the cavity. Same-day service across Melbourne.

Dead Bird Removal
Birds drop into chimneys, roof voids and gutters and block ventilation while they decompose. We remove the carcass, clear nesting material, disinfect the flue or cavity and check the chimney cap. Fast turnaround for Melbourne homes with open fireplaces and older rooflines.

Dead Animal in Roof and Wall Removal
When there is a dead animal in your roof or wall, we find it with an inspection camera, remove it through the smallest possible opening, then patch and seal. We work carefully around insulation and wiring in Melbourne's varied roof spaces.

Dead Animal Odour Removal
Once the carcass is gone, the odour can linger in plaster, insulation and timber for weeks. We treat the cavity with disinfectant and deodoriser, apply absorbent powder where fluids have soaked in, and use an ozone generator for stubborn dead animal odour in Melbourne homes.

A dead animal is a health issue, not just a smell. We treat it that way: gloves, respirator masks, disinfectant spray and sealed containers on every job, with carcass disposal done to environmental protection authority guidelines. No shortcuts, and no leaving a dirty cavity once the carcass is out.
We can usually book and finish a dead animal removal job the same day you send your details. For urgent odour problems we work 24/7 across Melbourne, including weekends and public holidays. We confirm a time when we reply, not a vague all-day slot.
Pulling the carcass out is half the job. We spray the cavity with disinfectant, lay absorbent powder where fluids have pooled, and run an ozone generator on stubborn odours. That is what helps stop the smell coming back when the weather warms up.
We quote before any work begins, based on where the animal is and how hard it is to reach. If we find something unexpected in the roof, we tell you before doing more. We also seal the entry point so the next animal cannot follow.
You describe the smell, the room and how long it has been there. We ask a few quick questions, give you a price range and book a same-day or next-day slot. No obligation to go ahead.
Our technician uses an inspection camera, flashlight and ladder to find the animal in the roof, wall cavity, chimney or subfloor. We confirm the exact spot before cutting or opening anything, so damage stays minimal.
Wearing protective gloves and a respirator mask, we remove the carcass with a grabber tool and place it in a sealed biohazard bag. It leaves your property in a sealable container, disposed of to environmental protection authority guidelines.
We spray the cavity with disinfectant, apply absorbent powder where fluids have soaked in, and run an ozone generator for stubborn odours. Plastic sheeting protects nearby surfaces while we work.
We seal the entry point with sealant and mesh so nothing else gets in, then do a final odour check before we leave. If the smell was severe, we tell you what to watch for over the next few days.

Most enquiries we get are about the same handful of problems: a smell that will not go away, a scratching noise that suddenly stopped, or flies appearing in a closed room. Here is how we handle each one in homes across Melbourne.
Send your details →Roof voids trap heat, so a carcass in a Melbourne ceiling can smell within 24 hours. We locate it with an inspection camera, remove it through the smallest opening possible, then disinfect and deodorise the cavity. Most roof jobs are finished in one visit.
Flies mean the carcass has been there a few days. We pinpoint the spot with an inspection camera, cut a clean access panel, remove the rat in a sealed bag, treat the cavity with disinfectant and absorbent powder, then patch the wall.
Fluids soak into insulation and plaster and cause stains and odour. We remove the possum, replace or treat affected insulation, spray disinfectant and deodoriser, and check the ceiling for moisture damage before we seal the entry gap.
Birds fall into open flues and get stuck. We remove the carcass, clear any nesting material, disinfect the flue and check the chimney cap is intact. We also advise on capping if birds keep getting in.

We work across Melbourne's inner east and bayside, from the period homes of Toorak, Kew and Hawthorn to the streets of Brighton, Elwood and Middle Park. Older rooflines and mature trees mean possums and rats get in easily. Wherever you are in our area, we are usually there the same day.

It depends on where the animal is, how hard it is to reach and how far the smell has spread. A carcass near the manhole is a smaller job than a possum in a wall cavity with soaked insulation. We quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
