Dead Animal Removal Glen Iris: Possums, Rats, Birds
In a Glen Iris bungalow the smell usually turns up in a bedroom or the hallway, and it does not shift with the windows open. That is a carcass in the ceiling, the wall or under the floor, and it needs to come out.

Dead Animal Removal Services Available in Glen Iris
We see the same handful of problems in Glen Iris over and over, mostly possums in shallow bungalow roofs and rats in timber subfloors.
Whatever the animal, we locate it, remove it, disinfect, treat the smell and seal the entry so it is not repeated next season.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums from the Gardiners Creek corridor move into Glen Iris roofs through broken tiles and gaps at the eaves. When one dies in a low bungalow roof, we reach it from the manhole or by lifting tiles, remove it and seal the gap.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats nest under the raised floors of Glen Iris weatherboards and travel into the walls along pipes. We find the dead rat by smell and stains, remove it and treat the cavity.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalMynas, starlings and pigeons nest under roof tiles, in gutters and in the chimneys of older Glen Iris homes. We remove dead birds and nest debris and close up the opening.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalIn Glen Iris the hard part is often the shallow edge of the roof or a cavity in a clinker brick wall. We pinpoint the spot first, then work through the least intrusive access available.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalBungalow ceilings and timber floors can hold the smell after the animal is gone. We disinfect the affected area and apply odour treatment to bring the room back to normal.View details →

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Glen Iris
We confirm where the animal is before opening anything up, then remove it, clean the area and seal the entry point.
Shallow bungalow roof edges
Low pitched roofs leave almost no room near the eaves, which is where dead possums tend to finish up.
How we help: We often go in from outside by lifting a few roof tiles above the spot, which avoids crawling the full length of the roof or cutting the ceiling.
Sloping creek-side blocks
Homes on the slopes down to Gardiners Creek can have a deep subfloor at one end and almost none at the other.
How we help: We check the subfloor from the most open side first and plan access around the slope, so we are not lifting floorboards we do not need to.
Old roof meets new extension
Where a modern addition joins an interwar house, there are sealed voids with no hatch at all.
How we help: We trace the smell to the right section and make a small, tidy access point where it can be patched easily, after talking it through with you.

Glen Iris Dead Animal Removal FAQ
FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Glen Iris
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It comes down to where the animal is and how easy it is to reach. A possum by the manhole is simpler than one at the very edge of a bungalow roof. We tell you the price before we start any work.
Mainly possums, rats and birds, plus other animals that die in roofs, walls, subfloors and chimneys. We remove them, clean and disinfect the area, deal with the smell and seal the gap.
Some policies cover parts of it and some do not, so it is worth checking with your insurer. We can describe the work and any damage in writing if you need it for a claim.
Usually the same day. For urgent jobs, such as a strong smell in a room you sleep in, we work 24/7. Send your details through the form to get started.
