How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Deepdene
You tell us where the smell is. We check the roof, walls and subfloor until we find the source.
Deep eaves and boxed gutters
Older Deepdene homes often have deep eaves where a carcass can sit well out of reach of the manhole.
How we help: We use extension tools and crawl boards to get to the edges of the roof without disturbing the ceiling below.
Clinker-brick cavity walls
Rats can die inside cavity walls, where the smell spreads but the source isn't obvious.
How we help: We narrow down the location from inside and out, then use the smallest access point we can.
Homes beside the Linear Park
Houses backing onto the Linear Park and its trail have scrub and trees right at the back fence, so animals move in and out often.
How we help: Along with removal, we check the rear of the house for other entry points and seal them.
