Dendy Park
The large sporting park that is home to tennis, soccer and cricket clubs. Homes nearby often have possums moving in from the park.
Brighton East is a suburb of solid family homes and wide parks, and the wildlife from those parks doesn't stay on the grass. Possums and rats end up in roofs and under floors, and sometimes they die there.
We find the animal, remove it, clean and disinfect the area, treat the smell and block the entry. Send your details through the form and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.
Most Brighton East jobs are in roofs or subfloors, but townhouses and rebuilds bring their own access problems. We check every likely spot before we start opening anything up.
Once the animal is removed, we disinfect the area, treat the odour and seal the gap so the next one can't follow.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums from Dendy Park and Hurlingham Park often move into nearby roofs through gaps at the eaves or broken tiles. We remove the carcass, clear the nest and seal the entry once the roof is clear.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats in Brighton East commonly die in short timber subfloors or wall cavities after taking bait. We locate them, remove them and treat the area so the smell and flies don't linger.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalMynas, starlings and the odd waterbird nest in gutters, vents and chimneys near the parks. We remove dead birds and nesting material and cover the opening.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalLow bungalow roofs and sealed townhouse ceilings can make a carcass hard to reach. We go in through manholes, subfloors or a small access hole that we close up afterwards.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalOdour from a dead animal can soak into insulation and floor timbers. We treat the source area directly and help the space air out so the smell doesn't come back.View details →
We trace the smell to its source, remove the animal, clean and deodorise the area and seal the entry point.
Californian bungalows have shallow roof pitches, so the space near the eaves is tight and hard to crawl into.
How we help: We reach in from the manhole with the right tools or lift a few tiles from outside to get the carcass out, then reset them.
Townhouses and units built on old house blocks often share roof spaces and walls, so the smell can appear in the wrong home.
How we help: We follow the smell carefully across the structure and work out which side of the wall or roof the animal is on before we open anything.
Many postwar brick homes in Brighton East have subfloors with very little crawl space.
How we help: We use vents, hatches or a lifted floorboard to reach the animal and bag it out cleanly.

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 carcass at the edge of a low bungalow roof or deep under a subfloor takes more work. We quote before we start.
Mostly possums, rats and birds. We also remove other animals that die in roofs, walls, chimneys or subfloors, and clean up the nests and mess they leave.
Check your policy with your insurer, as cover varies. We can describe the work in writing, including where the animal was and what we cleaned or repaired.
Usually the same day. We work 24/7, so if the smell is strong or the animal is somewhere awkward, send your details through the form and mark it urgent.
Yes. Shared roofs and walls can carry a smell into the wrong home. We trace it across the structure and confirm the location before we open anything, and we can talk to your neighbour if needed.
