Dead Animal Removal in Kew, from Mansions to Flats
Kew backs onto the Yarra, and the bushland along the river sends a steady supply of possums, rats and birds into nearby roofs. Sooner or later one of them dies somewhere awkward.
We find the animal, remove it, disinfect the area, treat the smell and seal the entry point. Fill in the form and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.

How We Run Dead Animal Removal in Kew
We start with where you can smell it, then search the roof, walls and subfloor until we find the source.
Large, complex roofs
Victorian and Edwardian mansions often have several roof sections, high pitches and more than one manhole, which makes finding the carcass slow.
How we help: We work through the roof systematically, section by section, and use the access point nearest the smell.
Old chimneys
Many Kew homes have several chimneys, some unused and capped, where birds and possums can get trapped.
How we help: We check each likely flue, remove what we find, and fit a mesh cover so the chimney isn't used again.
Steep riverside blocks
Homes near the Yarra and along the Boulevard can sit on steep land with tricky subfloor access.
How we help: We look at the site first and choose the safest, most direct way under the house.

01HawthornA smell that sits in one room of a Hawthorn villa and gets worse each warm afternoon is nearly always something that has died in the ceiling or under the boards. We find it, take it out, clean the spot and close the gap it came through.↗02DeepdeneDeepdene is small, leafy and quiet, which suits possums just as much as it suits the people who live here. When one dies in a roof or a rat dies under the floor, the smell soon takes over the house.↗03BalwynBalwyn'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.↗
Kew Dead Animal Removal FAQ
FAQs About Dead Animal Removal in Kew
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
It depends on where the animal is and how easy it is to reach. A big mansion roof or a capped chimney takes more work than a possum near the manhole. We quote before we start.
Mainly possums, rats and birds. We also deal with other small animals that end up in roofs, walls, chimneys or under houses.
Policies differ, so check yours. If your insurer wants details, we can describe the work in writing.
Usually the same day. We work 24/7 for urgent jobs.
Often, yes. The bushland at Yarra Bend and Studley Park is home to a lot of possums and rats, and homes nearby are the first ones they try. We remove the animal and seal the gaps so the house is less inviting.
