Dead Animal Removal in Armadale Homes and Shops
Armadale's mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas and shopfronts with flats above gives possums and rats plenty of hidden places to die. When they do, the smell usually finds you before you find them.
We track the animal down, remove it, clean and deodorise the area and seal the way in. Fill in the form with your details and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.

Dead Animal Removal Services Available in Armadale
Armadale jobs are often in tight spaces: shallow subfloors, low voids above extensions and solid brick walls. We find the animal first, then decide the least disruptive way to reach it.
For shops and flats on High Street, we can plan the work around when the shop is open, where that helps.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums travelling Armadale's laneways and street trees often die in the roof above a rear extension or in the gap behind a front parapet. We remove the carcass and nest, clean and treat the area, and close the entry point.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats here come up from laneways, compost bins and the rail corridor and often die in low subfloors or between walls after baiting. We find and remove them, clean the area, then show you the gaps that need blocking.View details →

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Armadale
Find it, remove it, clean it, seal it. In Armadale the main variable is how cramped the space is.
Shallow subfloors under period homes
Many Armadale houses have only a low crawl space under the floor, with original stumps and pipes in the way.
How we help: We use the vent or hatch closest to the smell and gear suited to tight spaces, lifting a floorboard only if there's no other option.
Stepped rooflines on extended homes
Where a modern extension meets an old roof, there is often no direct path between the two voids.
How we help: We access each section separately and check the junction itself, which is where carcasses commonly end up.
Shops with residences above on High Street
Shared ceilings and rear storerooms let the smell spread between tenancies and the flats overhead.
How we help: We work with shop owners and residents to reach the right space and schedule the job around trading where possible.

Getting Around Armadale: Landmarks We Use
Armadale is compact but busy, and a few landmarks make it easier to find the right street.
Armadale station
The station and the rail line through it cut across the suburb. That corridor is a regular rat route into the backyards and subfloors that back onto it.
Toorak Park
The sports ground on Orrong Road helps us place homes on Armadale's western side, where the park's trees and nearby gardens bring possums onto neighbouring roofs.

01ToorakA dead possum in a Toorak ceiling rarely stays a secret for long. In a big house the smell drifts through ducted heating and up stairwells into rooms nowhere near the carcass, so finding it is the real job.↗02MalvernMalvern's Edwardian and interwar homes are solid, roomy and full of places for a possum or rat to disappear into. Once it dies, one warm day is enough for the whole house to know about it.↗03KooyongKooyong is small and leafy, wrapped by Gardiners Creek on two sides with Glenferrie Road and Toorak Road closing it in. Creek, canopy and large period homes bring possums and rats close to the house, and some of them never leave.↗
Armadale Dead Animal Removal FAQ
FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Armadale
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It depends on the location and how hard the animal is to reach. A carcass near a roof manhole is simpler than one deep in a shallow subfloor or inside a brick wall. You get a quote before any work begins.
Possums, rats and birds make up most of it, along with mice and the occasional other animal. We handle roofs, wall cavities, subfloors and chimneys in homes, flats and shops.
That depends on your policy, so it's worth checking with your insurer. Cover for things like a stained ceiling varies. We can describe the work we did in writing if your insurer needs it.
Usually the same day. For urgent jobs we're available 24/7, so mention in the form if the smell is strong or the animal is above a living area.
Yes. We work in tight crawl spaces regularly and come equipped for them. If the gap is too low to reach the animal from a vent or hatch, we'll explain the options, such as lifting a floorboard, before doing anything.
