Dead Animal Removal in Eaglemont
Eaglemont sits on a ridge above the Yarra flats, and a lot of its wildlife lives closer to the house than owners realise. When something dies in the roof or under the floor, the smell usually arrives before anyone works out where it is.
We locate the carcass, take it out, disinfect the area, treat the odour and close the gap it got in through. Fill in the form and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.

Dead Animal Removal Services Available in Eaglemont
Every job starts with finding the source, not masking the smell. On a hillside house that can mean checking two or three roof sections and a subfloor that changes height along its length.
Once the animal is out, we clean and treat the spot, deal with the lingering odour and seal the entry so the next possum or rat can't use the same route.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums from the canopy over The Eyrie and nearby streets often get into Eaglemont roofs through gaps at the gable ends or behind gutters. We remove the body, clean the nesting material and close the opening once we're sure nothing live is still using it.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalOn sloping Eaglemont blocks, rats tend to die in the shallow end of the subfloor or inside wall cavities. We find them by smell and inspection, bag them out and treat the area so flies don't follow.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalStarlings and mynas build in gutters, downpipes and vents on the older homes here. When a bird dies in a vent or chimney flue, we lift it out, clear the nest and fit a cover so it doesn't happen again.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalSplit-level roofs and cavity walls in Eaglemont houses make some carcasses hard to reach. We access through the ceiling, the subfloor or a small, neat opening in the wall, and make good the access point.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalEven after removal, the smell can sit in insulation, timber and plaster. We treat the affected area directly and ventilate the space so the house is liveable again.View details →

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Eaglemont
We work out where the smell is strongest, trace it back to the source and remove the animal before cleaning, deodorising and sealing up.
Steep blocks and split levels
Many Eaglemont homes step down the slope, so roof spaces and subfloors are broken into separate sections. A carcass can be in one that has no obvious way in.
How we help: We check each section in turn and use the safest access point, whether that's a manhole, a subfloor vent or a small cut-in we patch afterwards.
Heritage and architect-designed homes
Houses in and around the Mount Eagle Estate often have original timber, render and unusual roof forms that owners want left intact.
How we help: We go in through existing openings wherever possible and take care with original materials, keeping any access small and tidy.
Heavy tree cover
Mature trees overhanging rooflines give possums easy access and make it hard to see damaged tiles or gaps from the ground.
How we help: We inspect the roof edges closely, find where animals are getting in and seal those points once the space is clear.

Getting Around Eaglemont: Landmarks We Use
Eaglemont is small and hilly, so we often use a few well-known spots to get our bearings on the way to a job.
Eaglemont Village, Silverdale Road
The heritage-listed shopping strip beside the station, with its old gums along the road. Streets running up the hill from here are some of our regular stops.
Mount Eagle Estate
The heritage area bounded by streets like The Eyrie and The Panorama. Its winding roads and tree cover make it prime possum country.

Occasionally that wildlife dies in the roof, the wall or under the house, and the smell makes it obvious.↗02KewKew backs onto the Yarra, and the bushland along the river sends a steady supply of possums, rats and birds into nearby roofs.

Eaglemont Dead Animal Removal FAQ
FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Eaglemont
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It depends on where the animal is and how hard it is to reach. A carcass under a manhole costs less to deal with than one in the shallow end of a hillside subfloor. We give you a quote before any work starts.
Mostly possums, rats and birds, as these are what turn up most often in local roofs and walls. We also deal with other animals that die inside or under the house, along with nests and droppings left behind.
That depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. If it helps, we can describe the work we did in writing, including where the animal was and what was cleaned or repaired.
Usually the same day. We work 24/7, so if the smell is overwhelming or the animal is somewhere it's causing real trouble, send your details through the form and mark it as urgent.
Yes. We use existing manholes, vents and subfloor openings first. If we need to open a ceiling or wall to reach the animal, we keep it as small as possible and patch it neatly.
