Beckett Park and Maranoa Gardens
Side by side on the high ground of Balwyn, with plenty of trees and native plants. Homes nearby see lots of possums and birds.
Balwyn's streets mix 1930s brick homes with big new builds, and dead animals find their way into both. A possum in the roof or a rat in the wall can fill a house with smell in a few days.
We track it down, remove it, disinfect the area, deal with the odour and seal the entry. Send your details through the form and we'll usually see you the same day.
We take out the animal, clean up what it leaves behind, and close the way in. That last step matters as much as the first.
Here's what we offer homes across Balwyn, from the interwar streets near Beckett Park to the newer builds off Balwyn Road.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums from Balwyn's big gardens often move into roofs along the gutter line. When one dies up there, we remove it, clean the space and seal the gap so the roof stays clear.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats get under Balwyn's older homes through vents and broken bricks. We find the one that's died, take it out from the subfloor or wall, and disinfect the area.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalBirds nest in roof vents, chimneys and gaps under tiles. We remove dead birds and old nests and fit screens to keep them out.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalNewer homes with tight, crowded roof spaces and older homes with deep cavities both need care. We locate the carcass first, then make the smallest access possible.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalWe treat the spot where the animal was found and the materials around it, so the smell doesn't linger in insulation or timber.View details →
Tell us where you notice the smell. We check the roof, walls and subfloor, find the animal and work out the cleanest way to get it out.
Modern double-storey homes often have low roof spaces packed with ducting and downlights, which makes moving around difficult.
How we help: We use the right reach tools and plan our route through the roof space so we don't damage ducts or fittings.
Older terracotta roofs can crack if walked on, and the tiles may be hard to match.
How we help: We work from inside the roof space where we can and treat the old tiles with care when we do need to go up.
Balwyn's hilly streets mean some homes have deep subfloors on one side and almost none on the other.
How we help: We look at the subfloor layout first and choose the access point that gets us closest to the carcass.

Flies around a downlight or ceiling vent
Stains on the ceiling near the edge of the roof
Sounds in the roof that have suddenly stopped

Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It depends on where the animal is and how hard it is to get to. A possum near the manhole is quicker than a rat deep under a sloping block. We quote before any work begins.
Mostly dead possums, rats and birds. We also remove other small animals that end up in roofs, walls or under floors.
That depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. We can provide a written description of the work if you need it.
Usually the same day. Urgent jobs are covered 24/7.
Yes. Newer homes often have tight roof spaces full of ducting, so we plan how to reach the carcass before we start. We remove it, clean up and seal any gaps we find.
